Expected behaviour.  You have to exit from being root after installing, 
before running X11 programs like gnuplot.  Root doesn't have access to 
your screen.

I've said it before: you really should consider stopping these 
experiments and just installing your distribution's gnuplot binary 
package.  You rather obviously lack the skills for building your own 
gnuplot.
