"Permission denied" and "Error" mean the install failed, in this
case due to lack of file or directory write permission.  You
will need to run  make install  as superuser.  For example,

   sudo make install
or
   su -c 'make install'

or login as root, make install, and logout, via
   su -
   make install
   ^D

I got the same error from 'make install'. I work on the linux server and i dont have root password. Is it possible to install on my home directory? Could you please tell me how?
Many thanks.

Yes that's possible, you can specify the install directory when using 
configure:

./configure --prefix=$HOME --program-suffix=-4.6.0
make
make install

The prefix specifies the path in which gnuplot is installed. With 
"--prefix=$HOME" the executable file will be in $HOME/bin, so you could 
add this to your $PATH. Some distributions do this as default, type 
"echo $PATH" to check this. If $HOME/bin is not in your PATH, add 
"PATH="$HOME/bin":$PATH to your .bashrc.
Note: Some people like to use an extra directory like $HOME/usr to keep 
things clean.

The "program-suffix" is appended to the bin file. If you use "-4.6.0" as 
a suffix, the executable file is named "gnuplot-4.6.0". So you can still 
call the normal gnuplot with the command "gnuplot".

For more information use ./configure --help
