Re-compiling Lapack (and Blas/Atlas) as a 64-bit binary may not be sufficient.
As far as I understand, due to its Fortran legacy, the array indexes
set to INTEGER*8.
You need it to be INTEGER*16. Simple find-and-replace will most likely
break some code written with sizeof(int) == 32 assumption.

There are proprietary versuions of lapack/blas libraries (e.g. Intel's MKL )
that (I think) have this fixed, but i have no experience with those...

You may have multiple gnuplots installed.
You need to set gnuplot_binary() (probably in your
.octaverc) to point to the gnuplot you want.
And yes, 4.2.3 is recommended.
