Did you start from a clean tree with the tutorial/eg?.tex absent ?

I do get the same error as Dmitri, but I agree that there seems to be 
some hidden bug here.

As I was playing with ./src/gnuplot before 'make install', I was able to 
hang gnuplot:

$ ./src/gnuplot
...
Terminal type set to 'wxt'
gnuplot> set term x11
Terminal type set to 'x11'
Options are '0'
gnuplot> Expected X11 driver: /home/tipote/libexec/gnuplot/4.1/gnuplot_x11
Exec failed: No such file or directory
See 'help x11' for more details
plot x
Expected X11 driver: /home/tipote/libexec/gnuplot/4.1/gnuplot_x11
Exec failed: No such file or directory
See 'help x11' for more details

=> here gnuplot doesn't come back to command line, a ctrl-c does the 
trick though.

Yes, indeed.
