problems with Gentoo messages on startup, installing gnuplot, running KDE 3646

THE SECOND PROBLEM concerns installing gnuplot. As I've said, everything was installe by emerge and, according to emerge -tpuD gnuplot evarything needed is installed except with the gnuplot itself.

What is given by emerge to STDOUT I shall not include here (about 45kB...) but on the first sight there's nothing suspicious (to me, but I'm not an experienced Linux user...). The result on STDERR is:

configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --host. If a cross compiler is detected then cross compile mode will be used. configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --host. If a cross compiler is detected then cross compile mode will be used. configure: WARNING: Please see INSTALL for a required readline bugfix. svgalib: Cannot opendev-svga Is svgalibhelper module loaded? make2: *** eg1.tex Error 1 make2: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make1: *** all-recursive Error 1 make: *** all Error 2

!!! ERROR: media-gfx-gnuplot-4.0-r1 failed. !!! Function srccompile, Line 67, Exitcode 2 !!! (no error message) !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.

When doing modprobe svgalibhelper the only result is (on STDERR): bane: Error inserting svgalibhelper (-lib-modules-2.6.11-gentoo-r6-kernel-misc-svgalibhelper.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

dmesg gives a lot of text, ending with: 3c59x: Donald Becker and others. www.scyld.com-network-vortex.html 0000:00:10.0: 3Com PCI 3c905B Cyclone 100baseTx at 0x7480.

If it be of some help, I can include whole listing (about 14kB...) The question is: what to do to install gnuplot? :-) Regards.
