Where/how did you obtain octave?

Did you install gnuplot?

If you are not sure, check to see if "gnuplot" is in you Applications  
folder. Open a Terminal window (Terminal is in Applications/Utilities)  
and type "which gnuplot". If you get nothing, and you have the  
octave.dmg open it. You'll find gnuplot.dmg in the Extra's folder.

If gnuplot is on you system, type "getenv('GNUTERM')" in octave's  
window and let us know what happens.
