No problem:

"rpm --query gd" gives me "gd-2.0.11-26" which, according to gd.trm,
should work. In /usr/lib, I find the following files: libgd.so.2,
libgd.so.2.0.0 (where in fact, the first is a symbolic link to the
second). Ah, I am missing libgd.so. May be, this is the problem. And, gd.h
is missing, too. I first will reinstall that and ask again, if necessary.
I don't understand why my libgd is not totally installed. I think,
my SuSE 8.2 is the last SuSE on my computers, it is getting worse form
version to version.

As Hans-Bernhard has told me, the information which library to use is
stored in the *.trm files. That is a good place for the developers, but I
think we should prepare another file for users who want to compile gnuplot
for themselves. They will hardly look into the trm files.

Have you been able to read all of my mail? Hans-Bernhard has reported,
that he only could read until half of the mail.

Thank you for the quick answer,
Harald
