Thanks, I just fixed this in CVS.

What failed to copy is not a temporary file—it's essentially a preference file 
for the X11 terminal.  The temporary files are from the install script, and 
they failed because the copy operation failed.

The issue is that the install script had a typo, so it was effectively trying 
to copy the file from a previously installed gnuplot—“works” (accidentally) on 
upgrade, but not on a new install.

This also pointed out that I needed to remove the distribution tagging from 
gnuplot-5.0.1.  If you’re using Octave, you’ll still want gnuplot-4.6.7 to 
print plots, so you can use “fink install gnuplot-4.6.7” to get that.
