Please verify you get the following.
ls -l /Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave
-rwxrwxrwx 1 bpabbott admin 2968 Apr 21 2011
/Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave
If Octave is not present in the Applications folder, you'll need to put it
there first (gnuplot also). After that ....
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/gnuplot
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/octave
... and then recreate the symbolic links.
sudo touch /usr/local/bin/gnuplot
sudo ln -s /Applications/gnuplot.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnuplot
/usr/local/bin/gnuplot
sudo touch /usr/local/bin/octave
sudo ln -s /Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave
/usr/local/bin/octave
