CentOS 8

At the date of this writing, several problems came up with CentOS_8. The plplot RPMs compiled with BSU, but the PDF driver did not work. One can use the PostScript (PS) driver and then use the ps2pdf program. Also, GhostView (GV) program could not display any Postscript files, regardless of where they come from. However, the *.ps files generated could be displayed with program evince in CentOS 8. The Postscript files appear OK when displayed on other operating systems. There is an alternative approach, see 2.3.7.1. However, if you want to use the current PLPLOT RPM's, then the list of RPMS needed are:
