Bug#642715: gnudatalanguage: FTBFS: Error! plplot library is required but was not found
I'm not sure that this is really a bug in plplot. libplplot-dev provides support for a range of languages, including C++. It seems draconian to insist that all the bindings libraries for C++, fortran, ada, ocaml, lua and d are installed if the user just wants to do C++ development. That is why these are only recommends not depends. The package description does say To use a particular language you will also need to install the libplplot-xxx package for that language. This is a change from previous versions of plplot, but one that seems sensible to me given the expansion in the number of supported languages in plplot. Having re-ready policy I think that libplplot-dev either needs to depend on _all_ language libraries (which I will do for now) or, possibly better, the different language development files should be split off into different packages.

The hint from the configure output also seems to suggest this. If I install libplplot-c++10, gnudatalanguage's configure script continues at that point.
