in fact I wasn't able to compile gnuplot in a way to get the x11 
terminal so that I'm not able to see graphs I'm plotting!
The reason was may be that I did not have X11 libraries and 
developpement headers installed.

Thus I installed XFree86-prog/XFree86-prog-4.3.0-8 
<http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=XFree86-prog/XFree86-prog-4.3.0-8&grep=include%2FX11%2FX.h> 
which should contain that but it does not have changed anything when 
compiling gnuplot 3.8j after installing 
XFree86-prog/XFree86-prog-4.3.0-8 
<http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=XFree86-prog/XFree86-prog-4.3.0-8&grep=include%2FX11%2FX.h>.

I think XFree 4.3.0 does not work here because when I unistalled XFree 
4.2, I cannot start XFree!
Could be the reason why it's not working?

By the way I don't have the commande ldconfig which may be needed for 
the system to be informed of newly installed librairies?
