I tried to use the gnuplot distributed with cygwin.
My .octaverc/octaverc file worked fine. I used an octaverc file with 
the following lines.

gnuplot_binary = '/bin/gnuplot'
putenv('TMPDIR','/tmp')
gnuplot_has_multiplot = 1

JWE's comments (around May 23 or 24, 2005) which include "startx first,
 then run Octave from the xterm window that startx opens" helped me.
