Hi Andrew:

I just double-checked, and I sent off the following reply to you (at
your SF mail address) concerning this question on Friday (so there may
be some issue in the mailing path between us or that previous reply might just 
be lost
somewhere in your INBOX):

===================
I encountered something like what you have described for te_gen tests,
and the answer there was to simply put CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/bin
(regardless of whether it has its default value of /usr/local/bin or
whether you have set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to something else on the
PATH.  I automatically do that PATH adjustment for all my PLplot tests
so I have never encountered this error for that context.

I am virtually positive the the above PATH change will solve the issue
for you, but please confirm that.

Note, that CMake looks at all PATH entities to determine possible
installation prefixes and then searches in those prefixes in the
standard places for PLplot configuration files that it needs which is
why the above PATH manipulation works.
===================

I will comment on your other questions/results separately, but I hope
this reply gets through to you this time.

Alan
