That default place exists, and it's where 'make install' of any typical
source package will place things by default: the /usr/local tree. 
That's what it exists for.  For 'huge' packages, there's another place:
/opt/<packagename>.  That's where stuff like Mozilla or Java typically go.

None of this has anything to do with gnuplot, though.
