Koen, are you still maintaining plplot? If yes, I would keep out of it, 
but I had understood that you wanted to leave it to None.

They go into 
/sw/lib/octave/site/oct/{powerpc-apple-darwin8.11.0,i386-apple-darwin9.1.0}/' 
and /sw/share/octave/site/m/, respectively, obtained in the configure 
script by the octave commands
octave_config_info("localoctfiledir") and
octave_config_info("localfcnfiledir")

I had seen it, too. I now simply put --with-prebuiltdoc into the 
configure options, which tricks the Makefile into thinking that the 
docbook documentation is available (which is not true), and then it 
installs the existing html documentation into the right place, defined 
by $htmldir = $(prefix)/share/doc/$(PACKAGE)/html. Without it, the value 
of the variable htmldir is '@htmldir@'.
Even in the new working version, there is still a weird message in the 
output

Apart from the fact that I don't understand the bit about "condition 
TRUE", the line 44 in configure.ac is

  AC_INIT(plplot, 5.6.1, [EMAIL PROTECTED])

which does not define any htmldir.

But then there are also other weird messages, like several hundreds of

  configure.ac:270: file `cf/ps.ac' does not exist

which is crazy, because that line 270 is actually commented out. I don't 
know why the build process insists on parsing configure.ac more than 200 
times, and parsing it incorrectly.
