You really don't want to do that.  Particularly not while you're still
learning the programming language.

gnuplot is already equipped to be run from the outside, by sending it
commands from another program.  You don't need to include it into your
own program; you don't even have to compile gnuplot yourself, as this
works just fine with the ready-made executables.

The key is the concept of a "pipe", which you use to send commands from
your own program to gnuplot.  Look up "popen" in your compiler's library
documentation.
