Subject: libplot-perl doesn't make
I seen the installation like this: Can you please explain the error, and a fix [root@localhost libplot-perl-2.1.6.2]# perl Makefile.PL Checking if your kit is complete...

I personally have not maintained this for years. It may well be out of date. But your immediate problem is probably not a bug in the package. For some reason your X libaries cannot be found. (the athena widgets, libXaw are in every X distribution) Probably the library is there, but is not listed in the correct path variable. Your bug reports should always contain more info, such as the OS you are using...
