Gnuplot is the original plotting backend to Octave; it is pretty much 
built into octave, rather than being an installable package. The first 
page you cite just says what I repeated above. Please take a look at the 
second link to confirm that the 'gnuplot' package contains just some 
scripts to output gnuplot-specific commandfiles, for offline plotting. 
It is perhaps an unfortunate package name, because it invites the 
misunderstanding that you fell into.

More importantly, are you having plotting problems? What happens if you 
just use plotting, e.g. plot(sin(1:.2:20))
