Alan, I've done some preliminary testing on Ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic), including running test_diff_psc as documented the other day, and test_interactive / test_c_wxwidgets.
All builds fine. test_diff_psc differences are as expected. Some slight variations when testing with svg rather than psc device. I will probably leave this to post-release to investigate once the tests are properly implemented in cmake. 1) Wxwidgets: I've reproduced most (but not all) of the snags in the plplot bug. I did notice one or two extra issues which I've documented in the bug report. 2) test_interactive runs fine. I noticed some issues with the test_tk_plgrid test. The plot looks fine, but the zoom and setup page menu options don't seem to work. In both cases nothing is plotted when the settings are changed. This may have been broken for a long time. Can anyone reproduce this? 3) The cmake based build of the examples in the install tree does not work if installed in a non-standard location (i.e. not /usr/local/). Setting CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX as suggested in the cmake error message makes it work, but not sure whether this should be done by default. Alan, do you have any ideas? (I mentioned this previously but got no response).
