I have no idea what apt-get does - or how that stuff was built.

Your problem looks something like the header file you have is way out of date with respect
to the binary of the library - or vice versa...but it's really hard to know what's going on
when there are layers of Debian maintenance stuff doing the work.

I strongly recommend removing anything to do with PLIB that may have been installed by
apt-get or anything like that, then just downloading the tarball for PLIB from our
sourceforge site - then doing:

    ./configure ; make install

...as we tell you to do in our instructions.

Any other problems you have should be directed to the Debian maintainer for PLIB - I don't
have anything to do with how they put that together - so it's very possible that it's broken
somehow.
