Have a look into the .gp file via your favored Editor. The gnuplot code
is nearly plain English, so you can see which files you need and what
gnuplot will be done.

Then first start gnuplot and load the "gnuplot-code" via

load 'your-code-file-name'

If there are errors you can see them in the gnuplot console.
