I assume you mean that "plot(0)" doesn't produce a plot?

Perhaps you don't have the dependencies installed? You can make sure with ...

        apt-get build-dep octave3.2

If that command installs any packages, then you'll want to run configure and 
make again.

In any event, the plotting should behave as it did before.

If you type "gnuplot_binary" at Octave's prompt, what does it return?

        gnuplot_binary 
        ans = gnuplot

Also, what does "octave_config_info.GNUPLOT" return?

        octave_config_info.GNUPLOT
        ans = gnuplot
