For the last 10+ years, gnuplot has generated gif output through the
external library libgd.   This has not changed on the gnuplot end, so
I am guessing this means you no longer have libgd installed.

In the current version (4.4) the most general way to do this is to
specify a filled rectangle that exactly fills the screen, or the
graph, and is placed behind everything else.  This works for all
terminals that support filled rectangles.

Example:

In the next release most terminals will support a "background" keyword
that does this more cleanly.
