#####My program exits with the error message Unable to either (1) open/find or (2) allocate memory for the font file

The PLplot library can't find the font files <tt>plstnd5.fnt</tt> and <tt>plxtnd5.fnt</tt>. Set the environment variable <tt>PLPLOT_LIB</tt> to the directory where these files are, e.g. <tt>export PLPLOT_LIB=/usr/local/plplot/data</tt>.
