You are using the legacy test system for installed directories. It appears from your results there are some issues with it. I believe that should be maintained indefinitely since there is always an appeal to the simple Makefile + pkg-config legacy approach, but I am swamped right now so I hope somebody else steps forward. I suggest you try instead the new CMake-based test framework for our installed examples instead which I am actively maintaining. After "make install" for the core build cd /tmp mkdir build_dir cd build_dir cmake /usr/local/share/plplot5.9.5/examples make help |grep test to see all the test targets that are available (in particular, better test_noninteractive and test_interactive targets than the legacy ones). Note, these exact same test targets are also available in the build tree for the core build, if you specify -DBUILD_TEST=ON for that core build. I will take responsibility for fixing up the wiki and corresponding README.testing to reflect our new/improved test system for both the build tree of the core build, and the build tree generated by CMake for the installed examples (as above).
