Error when crating a window with Octave - gnuplot cygwin x11

[Fabien Delaloye]

Hi everyone,

I have dowloaded the latest version of Cygwin and then installed the following packages :  xterm, gnuplot, xorg-server, xinit and octave.

My goal is to be able to plot a simple graph using the octave plot function.

I use windows 7.

I launch Cygwin and then startxwin, in the xterm window I do the following :

address@hidden ~

$ octave

when I try to open a new Window with the command figure, I get the following error :

I feel I have installed everything needed and just have to configure it right. 

Does anyone knows how to configure X11 and gnuplot so it works ?

Thanks,
