# pgfplot could not read the plot coordinates

I have the following latex code that works in one of my machines and it does not work in my other machines (Ubuntu16 and Ubuntu14; may have different versions of latex installed). I suspect there is a pgfplot compatitblity issue. I was wondering if somebody could help me to get this solved in my Ubuntu 14 machine, as the other one is broken:

\documentclass[12pt]{article} \linespread{1.65}
\usepackage{subfigure}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepackage{arrayjob}

\newcommand{\plotprh}[3] {
\subfigure[$\ell=#1$]{%
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[

ylabel={Percent (\%)},

\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}

I get the following error:

! Package pgfplots Error: Sorry, I could not read the plot coordinates near '(1
for format mistakes..
See the pgfplots package documentation for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.

• Well, it works fine here at least (pgfplots 1.14 in TeX Live 2016). You can check which version of pgfplots you have by adding \pgfplotsversion in your document, which prints the version number. (Unrelated: the subfigure package is considered deprecated, the newer subcaption, or possibly subfig, is usually recommended instead.) – Torbjørn T. Aug 24 '16 at 7:50
• @TorbjørnT. So that's probably the problem, as the currently installed version on this system is 1.9. – orezvani Aug 24 '16 at 7:56
