I'm assuming that you installed Lire 1.4 or 1.4.1 from the tar ball
using configure, right?
Check the output of your ./configure, it should have said something like:

...
checking for ploticus... no
checking for pl... /usr/bin/pl
...
checking for pdfjadetex... yes
checking for pdfjadetex... /usr/bin/pdfjadetex
checking for pdfxmltex... yes
checking for pdfxmltex... /usr/bin/pdfxmltex

but in your case it probably it said "no" in all cases. This indicates
that ploticus (or pl) and pdfxmltex were not found in the default PATH.
You can inform configure of a special location for these executables
using environment variables:
	PATHTOPLOTIOCUS=/some/where/pl \
	PATHTOPDFXMLTEX=/some/where/pdfxmltex \
	./configure

If you don't want to re-install Lire (and it isn't really necessary),
you can also edit .../share/lire/defaults/lire.xml and adjust:

    <param name="ploticus_path">/usr/bin/pl</param>
    <param name="pdfxmltex_path">/usr/bin/pdfxmltex</param>

appropriately.
