And so the second part has the same embarassing explanation:
3874: open("lib/amd64/plplot5.13.0/drivers", O_RDONLY|O_NDELAY|O_LARGEFILE)
Err#2 ENOENT
Also linking /usr/lib/ into the current working finally lets it find its driver
library, too....
Please can somebody recompile plplot with proper fixes to stop this madness ?
