You are welcome.

Wrong compiler which you discovered for yourself in a later post
by using g77 instead.

Looks good.  Glad you got pkg-config to work on this platform.

Remember that the PLplot build configures the plplotd-f77.pc and plplotd.pc
files so they will be different and pkg-config will act differently
depending on how you specify the overall configuration of PLplot.  For
example, the above is what you should get for the dynamic devices case, but
if you turn that off, then the code for dynamic devices is brought inside
the principal PLplot library, and suddenly it has lots more dependencies
including possibly glib.  So if you ever have trouble with this again,
please look carefully at (a) your overall PLplot configuration and (b) the
configured plplotd-f77.pc and plplotd.pc files and also any further *.pc
files pkg-config brings into the chain of *.pc files via their REQUIRES.

I think this concludes the pkg-config part of this, and further questions
should be asked on plplot-general.
