Because you installed from source, yum has no idea that gnuplot is
installed. Consider uninstalling the source-built package and updating
to an RPM installation, even one built from a Fedora SRPM, or download
and install the other packages manually and do a forced installation.
I never know that mix-and-matching yum, rpm and source-makes was a bad idea! Thanks for making me aware of that! BTW, how do I do the "forced" installation? I was thinking I should ensure all the package deps yum complained about I already have and then do a yum install with some sort of -ignoredep option. Couldn't find one though!
Sometimes it's necessary, but it's a bit dangerous.
Download the RPM's, with the yum '--downloadonly' options, and use 'rpm -Uv --force' on the particular packages you want to install. And do read the RPM manual pages: they're more up to date than the old "Maximum RPM" book.
