Hi James:

Thanks for following up and finding the source of the issue.

See Official Notices 1.1 in the README.release file that is being
prepared for the forthcoming release for the reasons we made this
backwards incompatible change to remove the "d" suffix on our library
names.  This change was made some time ago (March 2014, commit id =
d1a2aaa7) but still within the current release cycle.  It will be part
of the forthcoming release.

So to adjust for this incompatibility, the GDL build system must also
drop the d suffix in the PLplot library names when linked to the git
version of PLplot or to the PLplot-5.11.0 version of PLplot (once that
is released).

Since this PLplot change was made so long ago, I am now wondering if
the GDL developers have already adjusted for it in the latest
development version of GDL.  So try that version (if you are not doing
that already).  Or if latest GDL does not solve the issue, then the
GDL developers may just be waiting for our official release 5.11.0
before making the change there.  In which case you should stick to
PLplot-5.10.0 or else make your own local change to GDL to adjust for
the changed PLplot library names.

Alan
