Try section 6 of the Release and Installation Notes in the CGI manual:
"Environment Variables."

The CGIPATH environment variable should point to the directory where
your cgi drivers reside, normally /usr/lib/cgi.  The CGIDISP
environment variable should point at the cgi driver you want to use,
which for the vga display could be "vgabw," "vga16" or "vga256".  For
other cgi programs, such as gnuplot 2.0, tek, or starcgi, you may want
to set other environment variables, like CGIPRNT, FONTS, or VERIFYFONT
as well.
