This works in my Debian installation, because the Octave goes into standard
locations (i.e. I use --prefix=/usr).  That is the reason I never went
accros this bug.

Below is the (untested) patch that should fixes the problem:

Test it please, Alan.

I have to change something in use_plplot.m in order to have it working in
non-standard installation, but this is another story.
