I have made widespread changes in our build system so that USE_RPATH is now honored when installing the various PLplot libraries. (USE_RPATH has always been honored when building the installed examples.) I have tested both the default (USE_RPATH=ON) and also -DUSE_RPATH=OFF, and I get the expected results. In both cases the ctest tests (the build-tree tests) work. In the first case, make install has lots of rpath link commands, and you don't need to specify LD_LIBRARY_PATH in order for the install tree examples to work. In the second case, "make install" generates no rpath link commands (no rpath is required by some packaging systems), and you must specify LD_LIBRARY_PATH to get any of the installed examples to work (assuming you have installed PLplot in a non-standard location).
Those who are doing PLplot packaging should try -DUSE_RPATH=OFF to see if it makes your rpath life a little easier. Valery, this still leaves the issue of the trailing ":" for rpath that you detected for your particular combination of software packages. You should be able to work around it now by specifying -DUSE_RPATH=OFF, but I would also appreciate it if you pursue the trailing ":" rpath issue some more for the default (-DUSE_RPATH=ON) case so we can find out what is going wrong on your particular platform for that case.
