Octave install on Mac OS X 10.8.5

[Frank O]

I've been having some issues trying to get Octave going on my OS X 10.8.5
Macbook. I couldn't get the Octave 3.4.0 packages from Sourceforge to run,
so I went with an Octave 3.2.3 package and also installed Gnuplot. I was
also prompted to install X11. Now when I attempt to do a plot, I get the
error below. Is there an easy fix for this (perhaps an adjustment to
something like a path)? Or is there a better bundle that runs well on OS X
10.8.5? The Mac app store won't let me download Xcode, as it says it's only
for OS X 10.9.
