Hi Geoffrey: CMake finds all the Tcl/Tk components using the logic in $prefix/share/cmake-2.6/Modules/FindTCL.cmake where $prefix is the installation prefix for the CMake install. Where it searches is controlled by the CMake variable TCLTK_POSSIBLE_LIB_PATHS. It looks like that list of paths includes references to the locations where tclsh and wish are found. >From what you said, those should be on your PATH so it appears something is going wrong with the CMake logic to relate library location and header files to the location of tclsh and wish. I suggest you use the "message(...) command on the components of TCLTK_POSSIBLE_LIB_PATHS to see what the exact problem is. Assuming you find an obvious bug in the logic, then it should be reported to the CMake developers so that future versions of CMake do not have the problem. Meanwhile, we could copy your patched FindTCL.cmake to cmake/modules in the PLplot source tree so it will work for all our users from then on without them having to modify their system version of FindTCL.cmake or wait for the first release of CMake that includes your bugfix.
