The bizarre errors in your log suggest that you have somehow replaced the /usr/bin/install program with something else -- perhaps an INSTALL text document from some program? Please restore /usr/bin/install from your backups, or reinstall the correct version. (I guess it's part of the Xcode command line tools, so you could try downloading that installer from the Apple developer site and running it.)

Indeed it looks like your /usr/bin/install is a copy of gnuplot's own INSTALL file. Do you have any idea how that could have happened?
