I would be glad to help, but I need you to post the details of the issue to
this list (the details should preferably be for your Linux platform because
that is the platform I have access to).

Those details include the cmake flags that you use, the complete output from
the cmake command, and the complete output from the make command (if the
cmake output shows no errors).

I assure you that I have done absolutely minimal PLplot builds (one
postscript device driver, nothing but C language) in the recent past with no
problems, but there may be some issue with the particular cmake flags you are
using which is why I need such details.
