Neil,
Sorry I can't help with Netbeans although I have recently installed it. Have
you tried using an external console rather than the internal Netbeans one?

This is straightforward. I attach an example makefile that should point you in
the right direction. Although it refers to my Cygwin installation, it works
equally well under my msys/mingw one. I think you could avoid needing to have
the plplot libs and drivers in your PATH if you compiled with an appropriate
rpath flag, but I've not explored that.
HTH

# sjs makefile for plplot examples
# NB to run executable, need to have plplot lib directory in PATH, e.g.:
# export PATH=/home/sjs/plplot-5.9.9/buildcygwin/install/bin:${PATH}
# export
PATH=/home/sjs/plplot-5.9.9/buildcygwin/install/lib/plplot-5.9.9/driversd:${PATH}
#
# Note dll's are in bin directory, not lib, and windows uses the PATH
# to find them.
PLPLOT_DIR = /home/sjs/plplot/build_devel/install_devel
C_FLAGS = -I$(PLPLOT_DIR)/include/plplot
LDFLAGS = -L$(PLPLOT_DIR)/lib -lplplotd.dll -lm
CC = gcc
sjs_exp.exe:
$(CC) sjs_exp.c -o sjs_exp.exe ${PLOBS} $(C_FLAGS)
-I$(PLPLOT_DIR)/include $(LDFLAGS)
.c.o:
$(CC) -c $< -o $@ $(C_FLAGS)
# NOTE: it would probably be better to pick up
install-dir/lib/pkgconfig/plplotd.pc
# and copy the flags there. The above might not be complete if other libs
# are needed, e.g., qsastime (actually libqsastime is in the plplot lib
directory.
# I can't see where the driver .so's are referenced,
# but they are in /install-dir/lib/plplot5.9.5/driversd.
#
# Since the plplot examples run without specifying a LD_LIBRRY_PATH, there
# must be something in the way they are built that includes the necessary paths
in
# the executable. Note that there aren't any static libraries (at least that
# I can see).------------------------------------------------------------------------------
