I am regularly using gnuplot-3.7 patchlevel 0 to generate eps figures for my lecture
notes. I have never encountered any problems with either latex or pdflatex. I attach
one of my input files for gnuplot for you to compare.
One more comment: If you use
\usepackage{graphicx}
without specifying the graphics driver then latex and pdflatex are clever enough to
figure oput for themselves that you want the dvips driver for latex and the pdflatex
driver with pdflatex.
If you also use
\includegraphics{includefile}
without specifying the .eps or .pdf extensions, again the appropriate version is
loaded by latex/pdflatex. That way you do not need to change your .tex file when
switching between .dvi and .pdf output.
For further info look at some notes I made for our department at
