Expected gnuplot error message

My system is Mac OS 10.4.11.  I have installed Gnuplot.app and Octave.app in my Applications folder.
I was following the instructions in a tutorial and tried to do the following.
I've copied everything from my terminal window.

octave-2.9.17:3> x = linspace(0, 2*pi, 100);
octave-2.9.17:4> y = sin(x);
octave-2.9.17:5> plot(x,y);
Expected X11 driver: /tmp/gnuplot-ppc/libexec/gnuplot/4.2/gnuplot_x11
Exec failed: No such file or directory
See 'help x11' for more details
Expected X11 driver: /tmp/gnuplot-ppc/libexec/gnuplot/4.2/gnuplot_x11
Exec failed: No such file or directory
See 'help x11' for more details

I thought the failure message means I have to have Gnuplot.app- or a symbolic link to it- in the directory given above, that is, /tmp/gnuplot-ppc/.../gnuplot_x11.
But that directory doesn't exist on my system.
I have a working X11 system, the version is X11 1.1.3 - XFree86 4.4.0.

How do I get Octave.app to use the Gnuplot.app I have installed?

Thanks,

David
