Sorry for my bad writing.
The directory  constitution is 

gnuplot/bin/wgnuplot.exe
gnuplot/bin/wgnuplot_pipes.exe
gnuplot/bin/gnuplot.exe
       :
gnuplot/bin/share/PostScript/(8859-1.ps etc.)
gnuplot/bin/share/js/(canvasmath.js etc.)
gnuplot/bin/share/lua/share/lua/(gnuplot-tikz.lua etc.)
gnuplot/bin/etc/fonts/fonts.conf

If I just rename 'bin' to 'binaries', everything works as expected.

The other change that works
gnuplot/bin/wgnuplot.exe
gnuplot/bin/wgnuplot_pipes.exe
gnuplot/bin/gnuplot.exe
       :
gnuplot/share/PostScript/(8859-1.ps etc.)
gnuplotshare/share/js/(canvasmath.js etc.)
gnuplot/share/lua/share/lua/(gnuplot-tikz.lua etc.)
gnuplot/etc/fonts/fonts.conf

The second is standard unixy directory constitution.
In this case, everything works correctly.

environmental variable GNUPLOT_PS_DIR is not set for my case.

If it is set .../gnuplot/bin/share/PostScript, no prpblem occur as expected.
