Try putting the dll subdirectory on your PATH as suggested by Arjen.

It appears you are concerned about linking your own applications to
the installed PLplot libraries.  To help answer that concern you
should note there are two build systems.  The first build system (the
one you have been using) is used to build and install PLplot. After
that build and install is completed for the first build system, you
should notice a CMakeLists.txt file installed in
$prefix/share/plplot5.9.9/examples where $prefix is your installed
prefix.  That CMakeLists.txt file is the core of a second build system
which is used to build the installed examples and link them to the
installed PLplot libraries.  So builds of your own software should
follow what that second build system does.
