Well, the backtrace is complaining about make-local-hook being an
void function, and C-h f make-local-hook says:
,----
| make-local-hook is a compiled Lisp function in `subr.el'.
|
| (make-local-hook HOOK)
|
| This function is obsolete since 21.1;
| not necessary any more.
`----
so either you don't load subr.el (which sounds unlikely but who
knows?) or the function has been deleted - maybe because it's been
obsolete for such a long time: I just checked a recent build of
emacs and it seems to be the latter.
The backtrace also shows that gnuplot-make-gnuplot-buffer is the
caller:
,----
| (defun gnuplot-make-gnuplot-buffer ()
| "Switch to the gnuplot program buffer or create one if none exists."
| (or (and gnuplot-process (get-process gnuplot-process)
| gnuplot-buffer (get-buffer gnuplot-buffer))
| (progn
| (message "Starting gnuplot plotting program...")
| (setq gnuplot-buffer (make-comint gnuplot-process-name gnuplot-program)
| gnuplot-process (get-process gnuplot-process-name))
| (process-kill-without-query gnuplot-process nil)
| (save-excursion
| (set-buffer gnuplot-buffer)
| (make-local-hook 'kill-buffer-hook)
;;<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
| (add-hook 'kill-buffer-hook 'gnuplot-close-down nil t)
| (gnuplot-comint-start-function)
| (make-local-variable 'comint-output-filter-functions)
| (setq comint-output-filter-functions
| (append comint-output-filter-functions
| '(comint-postoutput-scroll-to-bottom
| gnuplot-protect-prompt-fn)))
| (message "Starting gnuplot plotting program...Done")))))
`----
but it calls add-hook with the LOCAL arg set to t, which does what
make-local-hook used to do, so it is safe to just delete the marked
line above. And don't forget to submit a bug report to the gnuplot.el
people :-)

PS. OK, time for a second rant:
If you *have* to use attachments, *please* take the time to make the
MIME type correct. In particular, application/octet-stream is a last
ditch default for machines: it's a "I don't know what to do - I'm
throwing up my hands" response - perhaps OK for a machine, but never for
a human.
In particular, a backtrace attachment should be "text/plain" - as should
be the case for an org file too: your earlier attachment of an org file
was of type "application/vnd.lotus-organizer".
Remember the motto: It's "Org-mode: your life in plain text",
not "Org-mode: your life in lotus-organizer format" :-)
