Hi Alice,
thank you for sending the log file! It's good to hear it worked out :)
The solution with the makefile is certainly a good idea.
And here is what I've been looking for: your plotten.log contains the lines
(/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/pgfplots/pgfplots.sty
Package: pgfplots 2009/02/14 Version 1.2.2
which indicate that a) the file from your system's installation has been
used and b) the version is older than 1.3 . Generally, an inspection of
log files is very useful to check if a package installation succeeded.
Best regards
Christian
