Gotcha.

Ok, one problem is that "DISPLAY" was not set. I'm compiling in a bash shell 
with a sparse environment, because our company sysadmin has us using tcsh which 
does not work at all in compiling octave. Once I set "DISPLAY" to the same 
value as in tcsh, "demo surf" seemed to work, in that it put out three sets of 
graphs. However, I also see an error message:

################
Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 295.71, but this 
NVIDIA driver component has version 280.13. Please make sure that the kernel 
module and all NVIDIA driver components have the same version.
################

Because this is my employer's workstation server, and we're restricted to 
Redhat 5, I don't know that I can get my sysadmin to mess with NVIDIA settings.

Anyway, I'm going home for the day.

Thanks so much for your help!
