I do not understand the report.

OK. So this is the directory you are running from.

And this is the directory it is looking in.
Is the problem that there is a forward slash (/) rather than a 
backward slash (\)?

What directory are the PostScript files actually installed in?
What directory is the wgnuplot.exe executable installed in?

What happens when you follow these suggestions?
Is GNUPLOT_PS_DIR set to an incorrect directory?
If you set GNUPLOT_PS_DIR to the correct directory, does the program
still not find it?

After changing what directory name? 
None of the directories printed above contain either "bin" or "binaries".
