The original GNU project to deliver a Fortran 95 compiler resulted in 
two such compilers.
(I don't know enough of the reasons for this occurrence, so I won't try 
to explain).

One is called "gfortran" and that is part of the official GNU compiler 
suite. The other is
called "g95" and that seems to be available in fink. I have heard good 
reports about both,
so if you could try to build PLplot with g95, that could be yet another 
successful platform!
