Many gnuplot terminals require external libraries to support them.
If these libraries are found on your system at the time gnuplot is
built, then it will automatically include support.  If they are not
found, it will build a gnuplot executable that does not support
the terminals whose support libraries are missing.

Apparently the system where your copy of gnuplot was built did not
have the gd library (needed for jpeg support ) or the PDFlib library
(needed for pdf support).  You will need to install these libraries
first, and then rebuild gnuplot from source.
