Hello,
Thanks. The suggestion to go to gnuplot-4.2 was well taken. The
remaining guestion I fear is more about Linux than octave, but maybe
someone has been here/
In trying to do a local update to gnuplot 4.2, yum complains it cannot
find libc.so.6. But ldconfig -p does find ibc.so.6., even an x86_64
version. (see below)
I took out some lines below; hopefully not the important ones.
Any thoughts??
Be well,
Jonathan

Hello,
I now have Octave, version 3.0.1 running on a CentOS box upgraded to

Octave was configured for "x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu".

I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you, but, to provide another
data
point, I managed your commands without Octave complaining.
octave-3.0.5:12> xx = 0:.1:10;
octave-3.0.5:13> yy = xx .^ 3;
octave-3.0.5:14> plot (xx, yy)

I'm using Octave 3.0.5 and gnuplot 4.2 patchlevel 5 on Mac OS X
10.4.11.
