Hi Roxo:

Thanks for your interest in PLplot, and, yes, I am pretty
sure I know what is going on.

There have been a number of important backwards-incompatible
Fortran changes for recent releases of PLplot (see
README.cumulated_release for the details) and the Fortran examples
have been changed to reflect that for each release.  Therefore, it is
important to use Fortran examples that are consistent with whatever
release you are using for PLplot, and I am pretty sure from what you
posted above that you don't have such Fortran example consistency right now.

To solve this, I suggest you build PLplot from the latest release
(PLplot-5.14.0) yourself.  5.14.0 has important bug fixes relative to
5.13.0 so 5.14.0 is the version we recommend (and the only version
we support).

The 5.14.0 tarball will include Fortran examples that are consistent
with that release.  See our
[wiki](https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/wiki/Home/) for how to build
and test 5.14.0.  It is one of those deals where it is completely
straightforward "if you know how".  However, if you have any trouble
following those instructions, don't hesitate to ask here for further
help.
