I have tested this with both gnuplot-4.4.0 and 4.4.2, trying various USE flags (I at first thought it was to do with USE=latex or USE=pdf but disabling them didn't change anything). I have previously built 4.4.0 with texlive-2009. Setting USE=-doc lets it build. The relevant part of the build message is: Package hyperref Message: Driver (autodetected): hpdftex.

I cannot reproduce the problem with gnuplot-4.4.2 and texlive-2010. Could you please post your complete USE flags?
Still happening here; I have: USE="X cairo emacs gd latex pdf plotutils readline wxwidgets" With USE="doc", I get that error; with USE="-doc" I don't.
(In reply to comment #3) > USE="X cairo emacs gd latex pdf plotutils readline wxwidgets" I still cannot reproduce the failure, with exactly these USE flags (plus "doc"). My guess would be that something is wrong with your pdftex.map: {//var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map}pdflatex: Invalid argument TeX team: Any ideas what could be the reason here?
OK, it did ended up being a problem with my system: I had forgotten that I had installed app-admin/pdftex at one stage to try it out, and it was set as the main pdftex executable. Uninstalling it and re-installing texlive-core has fixed this issue (which also arose when I tried to use pdftex on some of my own tex documents). Closing this bug as "INVALID" since it was my own fault it occurred :p
