Yes, this indicates to me that gnuplot is not executable on your system
as simply "gnuplot". Is it in the PATH known to Octave? Do you need to
execute it as /opt/something/gnuplot? If so, you should set PATH
appropriately or use the gnuplot_binary function to tell Octave where
gnuplot is (or what the program's name is).
