yes, this looks to me like a gnuplot problem.  Recent 3.7 versions had
a problem with postscript terminal.  Try the following in gnuplot:


gnuplot> set term post
gnuplot> set output "o.ps"
gnuplot> test
gnuplot> quit

% ghostview o.ps

Do you get the same LT0 undefined error?  If so, I think it is gnuplot
at fault.  This has been corrected in new betas (e.g. 3.7.1, patchlevel 10).

cheers, stephen
