As before, it seems I am making progress, but am stuck again.
First I moved cmake to a location with no spaces in its path name
and rebuilt plplot. All good as before.
Leaving the install files where they were built, everything works with
the driversd and the bin directory in my PATH and PLPLOT_DRV_DIR
set to the driversd directory. PLPLOT_LIB_ENV doesn't seem to be
needed as you thought (A), but the DRV one did (if I got all the
combinations straight).
Then I tried copying the entire install directory to a different location
(if they are to become part of the Fortran Tools, they need to run
in an arbitrary location, so people can install them in different places).
I got the following, so it is apparently not finding the *.fnt *.map *pal
files.
Note below that PLPLOT_LIB_ENV is set.

======================================
I will try the latest trunk and MSYS if I can, but it looks like this
is working if I can tell it how to find these files.
Thanks again to both of you.
