Octave 4.2.0 has just been released (ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/octave).  Please try the new stable version and report whether this issue has been fixed.

@Ethan:

Have you compiled Octave yourself or from a repo via package manager (apt-get/aptitude/yum/whatever)? Do you see the segfault only when using gnuplot as graphics_toolkit or does it also segfault if you use qt or fltk? Do you start Octave with the GUI? If yes then try it without GUI "octave --no-gui" and report here.

Can you create a gdb backtrace?
Thank you

First of all 4.0.0 is an old release and the first recommendation would be to get at least 4.0.3. (4.2.0 is to be released "any minute now".)

With that in mind, what happens if you do

print("t1.eps")

instead?
Do you get a correct postscript file?

Dmitri.

With octave 4.0.0 from the terminal, the code:


plot(0,0)
print


Immediately yields


panic: Segmentation fault -- stopping myself...
attempting to save variables to 'octave-workspace'...
save to 'octave-workspace' complete
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
