> How to build gnuplot from source with support output to gif?

Look at the output from ./configure.   It will tell you which terminal
types it could find support libraries for, and which it could not.
In your case you will probably see messages like:

  jpeg terminal: no (requires libgd with jpeg support)
  gif terminal: no (requires libgd with gif support)
  png terminal: no (requires libgd with png support)

all telling you that support for the gd library was not found on your
system.  Note that you need to have installed the development package
in addition to the library itself.  The name is typically something
like libgd-devel.
