This kind of problem used to happen when the default graphics
backend is JHandles (selected at installation), and the java version
is too low (usually 1.4.x). If this the case, then upgrade your java.

If it is not the case, then could you tell us if you see the welcome
the message of octave? Do you use the graphical front-end?
If yes, does it also happen when you start octave in console mode?
