Newbie install issues OSX

[Former user]

I have downloaded the file and through terminal have tried to install but am having issues. My overall aim is to install gnuplot and I think I need this for that so I have put this into terminal:

sudo ln -s /usr/X11R6/include/fontconfig /usr/local/include ln -s 'which glibtool' ./libtool ./configure --with-png=usr/X11 --x-includes=/usr/X11/include --x-libraries=/usr/X11/lib

and have the message back: ln: --x-libraries=/usr/X11/lib: No such file or directory

I have no idea how to fix this issue and just need a little help doing so. I have seen comments to other issues but find them hard to follow as I am following a tutorial on how to install gnuplot of which this is part of and so have very experience in actually using terminal and knowing its commands.

Basically baby steps would be nice if possible...

If you do not require latest libgd, it would be easier to install gd 2.0.35 via MacPorts, Homebrew, or Fink than building source by yourself:

not really something we can help with. Libgd compiles fine on OS X.

I would go with the ways suggested earlier.
