[Ifeffit] Problem building latest demeter on Debian 32bit Stretch

[Bruce Ravel]

Still puzzling.  I sort of understand what you are seeing, but it makes 
little sense, isn't consistent with my understanding of how package 
loading in perl works, and certainly is not something I have seen before.

Try putting

use Graphics::GnuplotIF;

somewhere near the top of lib/Demeter/Plot/Gnuplot.pm.  Doesn't much 
matter where.  After line 57 would be fine.

If that works -- great!  Both of my suggestions do no harm, so I'll just 
commit them to github....
