I think the problem is that you haven't done a 'make install' yet.

Unfortunately a limitation of the current system is that it won't work until
installed.  Perhaps this limitation will be removed eventually to some extent.
But as it stands after building you need to:

make install
cd <prefix>/lib/plplot<version>/examples/c
make x01c
./x01c

etc
