Be more specific about the version, please.  (I can't imagine "configure" isn't in some tar file supplied by the developers.  You typed something like "tar -xzf <gnuplot>.tar.gz"?)  Email me directly; building gnuplot really isn't discussion list material.

You may also want to look into getting the CVS version:

Hi, 
  Its not enough to do ./prepare (it hanged at places) as FreeBSD (that I am 
using) has its own way of making config file and Makefile. 
FreeBSD has its own versioning problems and it installs binaries 
as 'aclocal19' etc. 

  I am trying to make it work on FreeBSD, lets see. 

Thanks,
Dhiman

Sure enough.  There is no ./configure in that tar file.  You must run prepare first, i.e.,

./prepare; ./configure; make install

That snapshot will likely be out of date soon.

What do you mean, "soon"?  It already *is* out of date.  By almost 4 months.
