I recently downloaded and installed both octave 3.0 and gnuplot 4.2

from both the Terminal application and the xterm for X11. When I
type plot(1:10) in the xterm, it generates the appropriate gnuplot.
However, when I issue the same command from mac Terminal or from
inside Emacs no figure appears. I do not get an error message; it
seems to have worked just fine except that it does not draw the graph!
I would appreciate any help you might provide.

PS. It works just fine on my MacBook Pro running OSX 10.4.11 using
the same disk images for Octave 3.0 and GNU Plot.
I had the same problem with OSX 10.4. I don't recall the details that
led to a resolution, but I do have a few questions that will hopefully
help.
(1) From where did you get Octave?
(2) Do you have Aquaterm installed?
(3) What do you get when the following is typed in a terminal window?
echo $GNUTERM
echo $GNUTERMAPP
(4) What do you get when you type "gnuplot<TAB><TAB>" ... does the
terminal display "gnuplot gnuplotx"?
(5) When you run gnuplot, does it immediately respond "Terminal type
set to 'aqua'"?
(6) What happens when you type "plot sin(x)" from the gnuplot prompt?
