Did you upgrade your compiler ?

If so you are using gcc 3.2 which is incompatable with 
gcc 2.95 libraries.

Two ways around this

1) remake PLIB with the new compiler
%  cd PLIB
% make clean
% make
% make install

and try again

2) use this configure command
% cd PLIB_EXAMPLES
% CC=c++-2 CXX=c++-2 ./configure
% make clean
% make
