I tried installing gnuplot through my shell at Bluehost. My first attempt failed.
This post helped:

Yes. There seems to be a problem with the configuration script on Redhat.
I do not know why it hits Redhat and not other linux distros. There is a
revised configuration script attached to tracker item 3093208https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3093208&group_id=2055&atid=102055
or as an immediate work-around you can do the following:
bash> ./configure LDFLAGS=”-lncurses”
This is what I did:
$ ./configure -prefix=$HOME/usr LDFLAGS=”-lncurses”
$ make
$ make install
No errors this time.
Right on! It works.

I now have a simple script set up on arithmometer.org to plot functions in the browser window:
