These warnings are expected, and harmless.

That seems to be some Emacs problem. I know nothing about Emacs, and can't help.
Anyhow, it should not affect gnuplot itself.

The gnuplot x11 driver is placed in /usr/local/libexec/gnuplot/4.2/gnuplot_x11
during installation.  Your error message is saying that it is not there.
Did you do "make install"?
If you want to test out the program before final installation, you can force
it to look in the build directory for gnuplot_x11. Assuming you are current in
the same directory ../src

   setenv GNUPLOT_DRIVER_DIR `pwd`

I have no idea what could cause that. 
Certainly no one else has reported anything similar.
Terminal type? other commands?  Could you post the output?
