Hey, Sage does not use system packages. Instead, it has its own packaging system. If you want to install gnuplot, please type: `sage -i gnuplot-4.0.0`. Please feel free to update the package ( http://sagemath.org/doc/developer/producing_spkgs.html) if you wish to use the latest version. It would be great if you could post the updated package so it can be reviewed and put into the official package repos.
Also, `matplotlib` (http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/) is an excellent plotting library included in Sage. Sage also has its own plotting functions: http://sagemath.org/doc/reference/plotting.html and http://sagemath.org/doc/reference/plot3d.html.
