I do not know the specific Debian packages required, but in order to
build gnuplot with the cairo terminals you need
  
libcairo
libpangocairo
libpango	
libpangoft2


It is possible that those libraries in turn require additional
support packages that you will have to install first.

When you configure gnuplot using   ./configure
it prints out a listing of which terminals it found support libraries
for.  You should see a line like:

    cairo-based pdf and png terminals: yes 

If it says "no" rather than "yes", you can look in the output file
config.log to see exactly which libraries or headers were not found.
