Looks the same. I should add that I use this gnuplot with the precompiled Octave.app and it works just fine. I built it from source with no options.

Ok. I suspect that regexp isn't working correctly. First check the regexp libs. Mine is below.

octave:1> octave_config_info.REGEX_LIBS 

ans = -L/sw/lib -lpcre

Now, make sure this is where the problem is.

Assuming that the regexp command does not give the proper result ...

In /usr/lib, I see the following pcre libs.

libpcre.0.0.1.dylib

libpcre.0.dylib

libpcre.dylib

libpcreposix.0.0.0.dylib

libpcreposix.0.dylib

libpcreposix.dylib

I'm guessing you are configured with libpcre.dylib. Try switching to libpcreposix.dylib.
