To build gnuplot from source, you need to have the DEVELOPMENT versions of the required libraries installed on your system. The messages that you have observed list the wxt, pango, cairo libaries as missing. In your package management system, you can recognize the development versions, because they usually have a "-dev" appended to their name.
Moreover, you say you "ran INSTALL". I am not sure I understand; I am not familiar with an "INSTALL" script. Generally, building from source is a three step process:
./configure
make
make install
More information is in the INSTALL file in the top-level directory of the distribution. (In particular, for best results, you should look through the options to ./configure.)
I am sorry if this sounds tedious, but building any non-trivial program from source is, well, non-trivial. Now that that Gnuplot 5.0 has officially been released however, the major Linux distributions will begin shipping pre-built versions in their upcoming versions (if they haven't already).
