I was asking what version of gnuplot do you have that reads
.gnuplotrc, not the version of Octave that you have.  The gnuplot
startup file is read by gnuplot, not Octave.

So what version of gnuplot are you using?  Who built the gnuplot
binary (did it come from a SuSE package)?  If so, then why did the
packager decide to redefine the name of the startup file (which as far
as I can tell from looking at the gnuplot sources is .gnuplot, not
.gnuplotrc)?

Are you sure that .gnuplot and .gnuplotrc are really separate files on
your system, or is one a link to the other?
