So you need to edit the .tex file, replacing the \special line by either:
1)
\special{psfile=<full path>/figure.ps llx=0 lly=0 urx=720 ury=504 rwi=7200}
where <full path> is the full path to the ps file: /home/myusername/...
2) Only if use_tempdir = false:
\special{psfile=<relative path>/figure.ps ...}
where relative path is the path from the main lyx file to the directory of
the ps file
3) This is probably the best solution (if it works):
\includegraphics{figure.ps}
Of course, if you need to generate many graphs from guplot, you should write
a script that fix the output of gnuplot.
