You can use strace/truss/tusc to trace the execution and see what stimulates the error. It's very educational!
Code:
truss -faelo /tmp/gnuplot.tr -rall -wall -xall tcsh -c /import/freetools/local/gnuplot/4.2.2/bin/gnuplot

Options vary by tool and O/S.

So, you got a SPARC binary on an x86 system, try again.
