How can we help you, when you don't actually say what's wrong?? We can't guess. Provide the error(s) that you're getting, what you're doing to GET them, etc.

Or open Synaptic and type plplot in the "Search window".

The install instructions for plplot 5.9.2 :

Install ' plplot-tcl ' etc. etc. with Synaptic.
Or use the command : sudo apt-get install plplot-tcl

Download http://plplot.sourceforge.net/download.php > >

Building plplot-5.9.5 : 1) cd plplot-5.9.5/ , 2) mkdir build
3) cd build/ , 4) cmake .. ( cmake <space> <period><period> )
The text output in the terminal will show, what's included in the
configuration / Makefile : tcl/tk , wxwidgets, pyqt4, python, etc.

4) make : will build the binaries and the libraries.

sunitverma && sunitverma04 && ? Two LQ user names. Why ?

svn co https://plplot.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/plplot/trunk plplot

Required libs to be installed to build with "plstripc" / pld support :
sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev pdl

And then you can build a new plplot.
( Delete everything in plplot/build/ )
cmake .. && make
.....

Google .. plstripc command ..
