The gnplot which Octave has found was not compiled to use Aquaterm.

Does the gnuplot you were able to plot with use Aquaterm?

If it does, what does entering 'system ("which gnuplot")' at Octave's prompt 
return?

If it does not, then you'll need to set the GNUTERM environment variable to the 
terminal you'd like to us.
