Before compiling Gnuplot, I install (in Ubuntu) the library

libwxgtk2.8-dev

After executing Gnuplot's configure command, it will tell you that the
wxt terminal is also available.

This library is also necessary for compiling wxmaxima. I don't know the
name of the corresponding rpm package for fedora (I think this is your
prefered linux) and other distributions.

In the Windows case, since wgnuplot is precompiled, there is not much to
do, I'm afraid. The person who compiles wgnuplot takes his own decisions
on the supported terminals and somehow you depend on them.
