I have sometimes encountered build errors when just updating a previous
CVS version, but succeeded after removing and re-downloading the whole
source folder again.

Sometimes, however, there is a slight change in some tiny file that
causes all the problems on your system. For example, there has been a
path change in gnuplot/m4/apple.m4 that made the compilation fail on Mac
OS Leopard. However, restoring the older version (prior to July 23)
fixed this. Maybe there is an incompatibility with (OK, nowadays a bit
over-aged) Leopard that simply has not been seen so far.

If you encounter a failure on CVS after it had been working before, it
is often helpful to take a look on recent changes (unless you haven't
updated for ages).

In your case there might as well be some path problem (in brief: gnuplot
has to know where to look for emacs if it makes use of it somehow).
