You can set your PATH such that your "system" TeX executables show up earlier and are therefore what gets chosen at run time. You had to install system-tetex because presumably gnuplot is configured to look for kpathsea in a certain path--system-tetex puts in symbolic links to make that work. -- Alexander K.
