No executable of course, but compiling is rather straightforward.
The hitch is that you have to install a number of development
packages to get all the fancy gnuplot terminals.

Here's a list for ubuntu, and also one for CentOS in the comments
below.

After you've got your admin to install those, it's ideally just
three shell commands, check the README and INSTALL files in the
source package.

  Good luck!
