What version of lattice are you using?  In any case
I can tell you that the examples in PLOTLIB do compile according
to the execute script under Lattice 5.02.

I made a slight change in organization.  Maybe this will help
you.  I copied plotlib.lib into the directory where my other
libs were.  The example directory was copied onto my system
disk, and I started the compile from there (with lc, lc1, lc2,
blink in df1:).  All libs are on a second disk, which blink
asks for by its logical name LIB:.

Note that you need to change the script file to reflect the
new location of plotlib.lib (i.e., LIB:plotlib.lib) and, the
way the script is written, lc (lc1,lc2,includes) must be in
a currently mounted disk (thanks to all for that previous
bit of advice).

Also, beware that each output file is about 150k in size!
