Yes, I don't have that returned.

If find that this is not a simple issue.

With PStoEdit, PlotUtils is an option so not linking to it is not
reported as an error.  But, I had PlotUtils installed.

And with PStoEdit, building libplotter is an option which appears to be
necessary for PStoEdit to link against it.  No, I didn't have that
installed -- that was the problem.

IAC, I think it now works, thanks for the tip.

I suppose that most people use binaries, so it isn't worth having a more
explicit error message to report the actual problem of the missing
libplotter in PlotUtils.
