If you built the PlPlot from source, then you will more than likely need
to compile the pl-xwin driver yourself aswell. If you used a packaged
(RPM) plplot I would hope that something resembling a usable
core+driver was provided :( Since that doesn't appear to be the case,
have a look for the xwin driver as a separate RPM. You probably don't
need to change your Linux distribution yet...

On the plus side, you did get it to compile, which means your 90% of the
way there.
