You don't want to be plotting on the konsole.  Or rather: I massively 
doubt you'd really want to do that.  You want to have a graphical output 
terminal, like x11, wxt or qt.  But this:

indicates your freshly installed gnuplot has none of those available (or 
they would have been the start-up value).

That pretty certainly means you installed gnuplot from source, and 
didn't really get that right.  There must have been dozens of messages 
about things configure couldn't find on your machine.  At least some of 
those were important.

A binary package from your distribution would surely have worked better 
for you.  Failing that you'll at least have to install several packages 
with -devel or something in their names, so programs can be built using 
the installed graphical subsystems.
