They have binary builds for Windows on the Gnuplot Sourceforge download page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuplot/files/gnuplot/4.4.3/ The gp443win32.zip contains everything you to run Gnuplot, just add the 'binary' dir to your path. Then you can do: :m + Graphics.Gnuplot.Simple plotFunc [] (linearScale 1000 (-10,10)) sin in GHCI to test that it works.
