Try this explictly


octave-cli-4.0.0 -f
graphics_toolkit gnuplot
plot (1:10, "o-")


Does that work?

Did you type "graphics_toolkit('gnuplot')" in between step 2 and 3?  Did you see some gnuplot error messages appear in the terminal window?  Do other plots work?  E.g., "sombrero()", some demos, etc.

It sounds like gnuplot might be waiting for more data of some sort.  Octave version 4.0.0 is getting pretty far behind now though.
