I just tried qhull-2010.1 which I downloaded, built, and installed today in
a non-standard location. I found that gives a good PLplot result on Linux
with example 21 for both the build_tree case (BUILD_TEST=ON) and the new
CMake-based build system for the installed examples.  Of course, to allow
cmake to find this special install location for qhull, you have to set
CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH and CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH appropriately, e.g.,

# Special qhull install:
CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=\
/home/software/qhull/install/include":$CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH"
CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=\
/home/software/qhull/install/lib":$CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH"

(drop the last part if you don't have an already existing CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH
or CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH).

To move to the qhull issue for pkg-config, I currently get the following
(for my current installation prefix of 
/home/software/plplot\ svn/installcmake/):

softw...@raven> env PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/software/plplot\ svn\
/installcmake/lib/pkgconfig/ pkg-config --libs plplotd
svn/installcmake/lib -L/home/software/plplot -lplplotd -lltdl -ldl -lm
-lcsirocsa -lcsironn -lqhull -lqsastime -lfreetype

That is clearly in error for qhull (it should point to my special install
location of /home/software/qhull/install/lib for qhull-2010.1) which
confirms the issue you have reported.  I hope to fix that shortly.
