Hi,

I think you are talking about the latest Octave.app and Gnuplot.app available 
from Sourceforge? If this is the case then it sounds to me like the typical 
problem that sometimes this happens and I don't know why it happens. Try to 
start gnuplot this way

  GNUTERM=aqua /Applications/Gnuplot.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnuplot

and try to plot something with the command

  plot sin(x)/x

Or, maybe AquaTerm should be enabled in your Gnuplot.app. For this please read 
the topic

  Do I have to install AquaTerm.app before I install Gnuplot.app?

in the Readme.html file of gnuplot-4.2.6-*.dmg.

Best regards
