gnuplot/pdflib not building

[darrell@…]

Looks like pdflib is the culprit.

It would also be good if this did not build teTeX if another version of TeX is installed (TeXLive, since teTeX is deprecated).

[pguyot (Paul Guyot)]

I'm confused. The problem seems to occur with pdflib, not gnuplot, and I cannot reproduce it.
