Hello Alexis, wrt PLplot in general: are you using the latest version? What platform (OS, compiler) are you using?
wrt your first question: what version of Tcl do you have installed? I am not familiar with this error and I am a trifle surprised at this. Also the message you refer is from 4 years ago, a lot has changed since then. wrt the base/source directory: the confusion may be that the build documentation refers to the source directory as the directory containing ALL the source files. There is a subdirectory there called "src" which contains the source files of the PLplot core only. I can understand some of the confusion, but it is a rather common convention. wrt "plplot_cmake": we should indeed make this example a bit clearer - "plplot_cmake" is merely a place holder and that should have been explained.
