The libraries need to be present when Octave is built. So, you’ll need to 
uninstall and then reinstall/build Octave. I’m not a Homebrew user, but I think 
the command you need are …

brew uninstall octave
brew update && brew upgrade
brew install octave

If you’d like to use Aquaterm and/or Qt with the gnuplot toolkit, then you’ll 
also need …

brew install gnuplot --with-aquaterm --with-qt4
