Same problem here. It appears that gnuplot requires the "picins" package which is not part of texlive. My workaround is as follows: 1. Download package from CTAN http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex209/contrib/picins 2. unzip contents in texmf-local/tex/latex/local/ 3. texhash 4 Verify that picins.sty is visible: kpsewhich picins.sty Remerge gnuplot.

(In reply to Eugene Shalygin from comment #3) > Created attachment 380698 [details, diff] [details, diff] > ebuild diff > > And here is my workaround too This is not feasible, because picins.sty is non-free; it is even doubtful if we're allowed to distribute it. See this discussion: http://www.tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2005-October/009311.html I've tried to resolve this issue in 2010 again, but attempts to contact Joachim Bleser failed. And Edmund Lang passed away ca. 1995. So chances that the license of picins.sty could be changed are very small. Does any of the patches in bug 296732 comment #3 or bug 296732 comment #5 solve the issue?
Option 1: <http://gnuplot.info/ReleaseNotes_5_0_rc1.html> says: The TeX tutorial produced by --with-tutorial is horribly out of date. and the pdf manual can be download from here: <https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuplot/files/gnuplot/5.0.rc1/> So let drop all the documentation build inside the ebuild. Option 2: add picins to gx86 with RESTRICT=bindist, there was an ebuild in the science overlay at some point: <http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/sci.git;a=commitdiff;h=744d454d6101c9ba1ff8df35ded0d46b9d79e126>
What has changed is that the "pdf" target in docs/Makefile.am now depends on pdffigures.tex gnuplot.pdf, whereas in 4.6 it depended only on gnuplot.pdf. The comments on top of the Makefile claims that "make nofigures pdf" should work (but it doesn't). The following change in src_compile() seems to restore the 4.6 behaviour: - emake -C docs pdf + emake -C docs gnuplot.pdf
+ 14 Jul 2014; Christoph Junghans <ottxor@gentoo.org> gnuplot-5.0_rc1.ebuild: + make manual build without picins.sty (bug #517058) +
