It might rather conceivably not be.  --without-tutorial only has any 
effect if you do have TeX installed.  If there's no TeX available, 
gnuplot won't try to build the tutorial anyway.

I haven't kept the mail quoting the exact error, but there's one more 
potential, even likely candidate you may be missing: Emacs.  gnuplot 
uses an Emacs Lisp script (docs/doc2texi.el) to convert gnuplot.doc to a 
texinfo document.  If configure found a non-working 'emacs', that could 
generate the kind of symptoms you see.
