I'll cc this to Thimotee Lecompte, who I think is most on top
of the issue.

So far as I can tell from the code, this means that

(1) You are building a built-in set of PostScript prologue
    scripts, which is not really intended to be the default
    on any platform.  (I think, although I keep on being
    confused about the state of things on Windows). 
    Nevertheless, that is supposed to work.

(2) Whatever build environment you are using fails to 
    #include "PostScript/prologues.h"
    when building the postscript terminal.

Please find the following line in post.trm:

  #if defined(_Windows)
  # include "win/winmain.h"
  #elif defined(OS2)
  # define INCL_DOSPROCESS
  # define INCL_DOSMODULEMGR
  # include <os2.h>
>>#elif !defined(GNUPLOT_PS_DIR)
  #  include "PostScript/prologues.h"
  #endif

And try changing it to

  #if defined(_Windows)
  # include "win/winmain.h"
  #elif defined(OS2)
  # define INCL_DOSPROCESS
  # define INCL_DOSMODULEMGR
  # include <os2.h>
>>#endif
>>#if !defined(GNUPLOT_PS_DIR)
  #  include "PostScript/prologues.h"
  #endif

I think that will work, but whether or not it is truly
the correct fix is another question.
