yes of course: here is a cut-and-paste:
cd pgplot_build [the directory I created for building]
make xwin

[ 7%] Built target plhershey-unicode.h_built
[ 7%] Built target csirocsa

[ 15%] Built target qsastime
[ 92%] Built target plplotd
[100%] Built target xwin
make _plplotcmodule_fixed
make: *** No rule to make target `_plplotcmodule_fixed'. Stop.
