Yeah. Go to the directory you used to install gnuplot. There, as root, type
"make distclean" or "make uninstall" (i don't remember which of both option=
s
works for gnuplot 4.0).
However, it is not so bad to have some programs installed without using the
package/software management, so let me recommed you not to unistall gnuplot
4.0 and reinstall it from the mandriva package mgnt. It will be better to
upgrade to gnuplot4.2-rc, available from the gnuplot home page and with a
lot of new features.

Bye.
