Dear Alice Lieberwirth,
I have the impression that latex still does not find the installed
package... it sounds as if it is using an old version. The
/pgfplots/compat key was introduced in version 1.3, so your latex is
probably using version 1.2.2 .
You can verify your installation by inspecting the .log file -- it
should, at some point, contain version information about the pgfplots
package (provide the '\listfiles' macro as first command before
\begin{document} to trigger further information about package versions).
In case it turns out that the package is, indeed, not yet found:
make sure you are running pdflatex from the very same shell where you
assigned the TEXINPUTS variable. Perhaps the TEXINPUTS variable was not
in considered?
In the hope of being helpful,
Christian
