That error message means exactly what it says; the directory you specified to cmake does not exist on your system. You have to specify the exact path of the top-level source tree on your system. If you created that by unpacking the 5.8.0 tarball, that will be some_prefix/plplot-5.8.0, where some_prefix is the directory where you unpacked the tarball. Alternatively, if you do an svn checkout of our code, you can name the resulting source tree anything you like. In my case I use plplot_cmake for historical reasons, and that shows up in the wiki example. That is clearly labelled as an example, and nobody else has mentioned having problems with adopting the literal directory name there, but I have just now modified the wiki to make this clearer.
