You have compiled the source and than installed it? There are no binary
for linux or .deb packages at 'http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/'

Have you tried it or have you done it? Here, after a 'sudo apt-get
install gnuplot-qt' on a Ubuntu 18.x LTS everything works fine.

Type 'set terminal' in your gnuplot and you get a list of available
