Yes. Follow the build instructions at http://www.miscdebris.net/plplot_wiki. My advice is to set your installation prefix to a unique directory which you have full control of so there is no interference/confusion with or from the system version of PLplot, and you can uninstall the results by simply removing the whole (unique) prefix directory. Also pay close attention to the WARNING messages in the cmake output. Usually, those are concerned with missing system components you need to install to enjoy a full-featured PLplot. You may find your first PLplot build intimidating, but the effort is worth it to get full control of your version of PLplot, and after a while the PLplot build will just be a routine that only takes about a minute or so on today's entry-level PC's.
