FWIW, these are also useful if one needs to relocate the installed library.
I.e. if you want to be able to install a product that links with plplot to a
different location, you can set these:
export PLPLOT_DRV_DIR=$MYPREFIX/lib/plplot/driversd
export PL_LIBRARY=$MYPREFIX/share/plplot/tcl
export PLPLOT_LIB=$MYPREFIX/share/plplot
where $MYPREFIX points to your new "prefix" area containing plplot and other
dependent packages (tcl etc). Then everything works AFAIK, where "everything"
is defined as the parts of plplot that I use. ;)
