These error messages show that various packages have not been installed, or perhaps were installed in a non-standard place:
configure: WARNING: Could not find support for lua using pkg-config.
checking for gdlib-config... /pkg/fs-foundation-/dynamic/bin/gdlib-config
Because of this, your build of gnuplot will not contain the lua/tikz and libgd (png/gif/jpeg/sixel) terminals. There is also apparently a problem with your wxgtk package installation .
On my machine these support packages are provided by
Since you don't tell us the distribution or version of your operating system, I can't give any more specific advise about the names of the additional support packages you might need to install.
Hi Ethan,
Thanks for your response.
I am using Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.9 (Maipo)
Kindly help me to required support packages for this tool .
Regards & Thanks

I am not a RHEL user, but I would suggest starting with
wxGTK3-devel-3.0.4
lua-devel-5.1.4
gd-devel-2.0.35
I found these versions listed as available for RHEL 7. These are not the lastest version of their respective libraries but they may be the most recent packaged for RHEL7. These packages may of course pull in other packages as dependencies.
It is strange that your log shows that the wxt terminal is being built even though the wx-config commands are failing. I have not seen that before. The wx-config configuration tool should be part of wxGTK3-devel, so if you have that installed but the configure script is still not finding wx-config then I think you may have to take your question to Redhat support rather than asking here.
