You used the old build system which was deprecated for some time and removed
after 5.8.0. Please follow the directions at
http://www.miscdebris.net/plplot_wiki to build PLplot using our latest
development release (version 5.9.0 at
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2915) using our
supported CMake-based build system.  That build probably won't solve your
issue, but it will be a lot closer to what we are used to and will make it
easier for us to discover what the problem is for you.
