i might make the file names a little more different just so it's easier to tell what's what.
maybe therein is the problem.
maybe like this:
grep junk some_file > grep_some_file
awk junk grep_some_file > awk_some_file
paste -d' ' awk_some_file awk_some_other_file > paste_some_files
But copying everything you've mentioned -- from the original post -- and
trying it on my system - - - - paste -d' ' worked perfectly.
it looks like ~something~ is nuking that first file argument to the paste command,
or the file name is wrong maybe....

plmtex
PLMTEX(3plplot) PLplot API PLMTEX(3plplot)
NAME
plmtex - Write text relative to viewport boundaries
SYNOPSIS
plmtex(side, disp, pos, just, text)
DESCRIPTION
Writes text at a specified position relative to the viewport boundaries. Text may be written inside or outside the viewport, but is
clipped at the subpage boundaries. The reference point of a string lies along a line passing through the string at half the height of a
capital letter. The position of the reference point along this line is determined by just, and the position of the reference point rela-
tive to the viewport is set by disp and pos.
Redacted form: General: plmtex(side, disp, pos, just, text) Perl/PDL: plmtex(disp, pos, just, side, text)
This function is used in examples 3,4,6-8,11,12,14,18,23,26.
ARGUMENTS
side (const char *, input)
Specifies the side of the viewport along which the text is to be written. The string must be one of: b: Bottom of viewport, text
written parallel to edge. bv: Bottom of viewport, text written at right angles to edge. l: Left of viewport, text written parallel
to edge. lv: Left of viewport, text written at right angles to edge. r: Right of viewport, text written parallel to edge. rv:
Right of viewport, text written at right angles to edge. t: Top of viewport, text written parallel to edge. tv: Top of viewport,
text written at right angles to edge.
disp (PLFLT, input)
Position of the reference point of string, measured outwards from the specified viewport edge in units of the current character
height. Use negative disp to write within the viewport.
pos (PLFLT, input)
Position of the reference point of string along the specified edge, expressed as a fraction of the length of the edge.
just (PLFLT, input)
Specifies the position of the string relative to its reference point. If just=0., the reference point is at the left and if
just=1., it is at the right of the string. Other values of just give intermediate justifications.
text (const char *, input)
The string to be written out.
