Moving files around (or even the preferred alternative of setting a lot of environment variables) should only be an issue in the build tree. In general the build tree is a complicated situation because everything is spread all over the place. To see what really has to be done in the build tree have a look at how TEST_ENVIRONMENT is set up and used in test/CMakeLists.txt. Virtually none of these environment variable complications are necessary in the install tree because everything (including fonts) is installed in a known location that is built right into the code. Therefore, Arjen, have you actually tried building the examples in the install tree (after "make install" has been run) and running make and ./plplot-test.sh in the installed examples directory (e.g., in $prefix/share/plplot5.8.0-RC1/examples, where $prefix is the installation prefix you specified on the cmake command line? For that case, there should be no need to copy any files (assuming you have $prefix/lib, the single location where all the libraries are installed, on your PATH).
