The problem was it's doing the test in the source directory and not in the build
directory. Also in my case it worked because if it cannot find gnuplot in that
directory it just calls gnuplot along the path and I already had gnuplot installed
under /usr/local/bin. Maybe it's a good idea when building packages to not include
/usr/local/bin and friends in the path.

Please fetch new versions as usual.
