Well, regular Debian users should not bother with compiling software. On the
other hand, when they try to compile PDL from the CVS sources, then it
becomes a general problem, not a Debian-specific problem. In order to have
the PLplot support compiled, PLplot must be installed in the system (see
www.plplot.org, although the libplplot-dev package should be sufficient).

The gnome2 driver is much better than the xwin one, in special regarding
fonts, since it can show antialiased fonts in Unicode encoding, like in
this example:
