That means your build of gnuplot fails to include any GUI drivers (X11, 
wxt).

You have to compile it with more libaries available.  The "configure" 
prints a lot of informative message --- read them.

Or (probably easier) just install the X11-enabled gnuplot package of 
gnuplot by your Linux distributor.
