On Debian (and probably Ubuntu as well) you can search for system file locations by using the apt-file command. Here is the result here (Debian stable) for that command when searching for plplot.mod: irwin@raven> apt-file search plplot.mod libplplot-dev: /usr/lib/fortran/modules/plplot/plplot.mod This means if I want access to this file I have to install the libplplot-dev package (if that has not been done already), and also gives the location of the desired file once installed. The location of the file and even the name of the package on your Ubuntu system might be different (that depends on the actual Ubuntu packaging), but the principle is the same for all Debian-related distributions such as Debian stable or Ubuntu; use apt-file (which you might have to install and update first if it is not already installed on your system) to find out where any system file (including plplot.mod) is located.
