Yes, I recompiled, but I didn't notice that is did not work.

I noticed the following problems with my Debian Linux:
- massage generates a segmentation fault, so I chose to by-pass it
- matwrap cannot parse the .h file. some declarations are not recognized
- the message "error: can't perform indexing operations for <unknown type> 
type" is effectively due to the line "plplot_stub( );" because it call a 
script with parenthesis. Removing this ( ) resolves the problem
- octave-plplot path should be located in front of LOADPATH, before "::", and 
should be terminated by "//". So, e.g. LOADPATH = 
/usr/share/octave-plplot//:::/usr/local/share/octave/matcompat21//:/usr/local/lib/octave/matcompat21//
- since matwrap could not parse every function in the .h, some functions are 
missing, and octave-plplot does not work.
