Typo? Fedora Core 2 is from 2004; Fedora 12 is from 2009;
both are old enough that I do not remember what library 
versions were used.  Your error messages indicate a problem with
the header files for libgd, but I can't tell whether the problem
is a very old version of the header or if it is missing altogether.

Were there any warnings from configure?
If you are really running a 2004 OS you might have gotten a message
"libgd not found or too old, version >= 2.0 is required"

Or there might have been a warning of the form
"please add path to gd.h to CPPFLAGS in Makefile"
in which case doing exactly what it says might fix your problem.

Wow. That version of gnuplot dates back to last century.
That said, I too have a running version of 3.7 on my machine.
But in my case the executable itself has survived the passing
years in runnable condition.  I really don't know how hard it
would be to rebuild it from source.

No. But it may very well have to do with the versions of the
various support libraries (libgd in this case) installed on the
machine.

	good luck!
