Configuration errors on build and execution

Description

On Linux, the example gives errors on building and executing it.
On running the build command (gcc -std=c11 main.c -lmetacall), the following error occurs:

error while loading shared libraries: libmetacall.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Adding the following link to the command fixes it:
g++ main.cpp -L/usr/local/lib -lmetacall

Then, on executing the binary using ./a.out, it fails to load the plot.py script.

To fix that, the path of the script needed to be changed to its absolute path inside main.c, where it's being loaded to MetaCall.
Also, to execute it, the following command had to be used: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ./a.out.
