The dashboards submitted by an anonymous user on December 10th and
11th showed a CMake error on Ubuntu which was due to a PLplot build
system bug which I just fixed.  Thanks for those reports! Whoever
submitted those dashboards should try doing so again.

Those tests also showed one ctest error for Ubuntu concerning the test
of our pdf device for C example 24. The fix for that has been known a
long time and has been accepted upstream by the libhpdf developers,
and even packaged experimentally downstream by Debian (see
<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=726069>), but that
package of the new 2.3.0 upstream version of libhpdf has for some
unknown reason never made it into Debian stable releases and also not
into Ubuntu releases.  So until those packaging issues are fixed,
Debian and Ubuntu users will always run into this PLplot ctest issue
unless they build that latest libhpdf version for themselves (like
I do for my own comprehensive tests).
