Paul, The final compare test compares postscript output from the different language bindings to check for consistency. There are some known issues with some language bindings due to version requirements for some of the components, or just because some features are not implemented in all languages. You should not necessarily be concerned that the test fails. The test is there as a check for developlers that we don't break anything and also as a quick check of where fixes are needed. It can also highlight small rounding errors due to 32-bit / 64-bit issues or differences between compiled and interpreted languages.
Can you confirm the version of plplot you are using and also the version of tcl? I can then give you a more definitive answer about whether your results are expected.
