Thomas,
Below are the error messages I get when I type in the commands you suggested.
I had not seen your response before, I wish I had... I have been trying to plot my graphs outside of octave in the past month but it started getting tedious. I hope to figure this plotting problem out soon.
Thank you for offering help,

Hi,
I put some Octave commands here - can you please copy and paste them into a running Octave session and then please send back all the output of these commands:
ostream = __gnuplot_open_stream__ (2, gcf ())
gpin_name = tmpnam ()
[err, msg] = mkfifo (gpin_name, 6*8*8)
Best regards,
Thomas

Thank you for your responses. Ben's suggestion actually makes an
empty plot box pop - I did not have that before... But the plot

Any other thoughts?

I think this error indicates octave cannot find gnuplot. You can
tell
octave the location of gnuplot by putting
gnuplot_binary("path to gnuplot");
in your .octaverc file in your home directory.

Sorry, I must have overlooked your answer. Ok, let's see what we can do now. The problem you have has nothing to do with where the binary of gnuplot is located. Your problem is that you cannot create a fifo special file on your Mac.
I think the problem is somewhere with your tmpnam() function because it returns a result to /local/tmp. On my system a call to tmpnam() within Octave gives the result
octave-3.2.0:1> tmpnam ()
ans = /var/tmp/oct-KmvZyU
First question now is, is there a path on your system which is called /local/tmp? Open a Terminal.app and check this
ls -l /local/tmp
I expect this path does not exist on your Mac or it has been created manually?! The next question is, is there a global /tmp directory on your Mac, check
ls -l /tmp
and also please type this line in your Terminal.app
echo $TMPDIR
I also expect that your Octave mkfifo() command works correctly, can you please check in Octave.app
[verr, vmsg] = mkfifo ("test.txt", 666)
delete ("test.txt")
Meanwhile best regards
Thomas
