I don't have a solution to your problem, but I have also noticed that 
embedded plotting does not seem to work.  I glanced quickly at the 
Makefile but noticed nothing pertinent; however I haven't spent any 
time looking for a solution.  

When I run the tests, I do not get the same error as you.  I also run 
CMUCL.  If you run the test several times, do you always get that 
error?
