I'd check out this (long) forwarded octave help session;
http://www-old.cae.wisc.edu/pipermail/help-octave/2006-June/000627.html
In the meantime, I recall having a similar issue last week with a G5 Mac OS X
and found that I could work around the X11 problem by exporting the display
something like;
export DISPLAY=":0.0"
in the terminal before attempting to plot anything. Then I simply plot as usual
and the X11 window comes up. You probably already read this elsewhere, but you
need to have Aquaterm and X11 installed before you can plot with gnuplot.

Hi,
I just installed binary Octave 3.0.3 from Octave-Forge and now get
the following error:
gnuplot: unable to open display ':0'
gnuplot: X11 aborted.
I am running OS X 10.4 (Tiger) i386. I deleted Octave 3.0.2 and all
packages (also downloaded from Octave-Forge) then reinstalled the new
version and the packages. I did this because I had problems just
installing the new version by replacing the 3.02 with 3.0.3. Also, I
have been trying to install the image package without luck. I even
tried porting it from MacPorts but gave up. I suspect that MacPort
may have changed my environment because I noticed that after
downloading MacPorts, Octave started under Terminal instead of X11.
Is anyone familiar with this issue and know how to fix this problem?
Bob
