This has been fixed. I installed a custom version of freetype. Looks like I installed freetype locally and the dynamic linker tries to pick that version in /usr/local instead of /usr/lib

I grabbed the latest freetype and build and installed that to /usr/local (http://www.freetype.org/download.html)

I figured this out by running:
ldd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liboctinterp.so.2 | grep freetype

And it outputting:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfreetype.so.6

This is probably not an issue for you if you are using Ubuntu's default freetype libraries.

Yes, I used synaptics, libfreetype6, libfreetype6:i386 and libfreetype6-dev are installed. That does not seem to be the issue.

Have you installed octave using your package manager (apt-get, aptitude, synaptics)? Try to install libfreetype6 and see if this fixes it. If yes and you have used your package manager you should file a bug report on the ubuntu package that libgreetype is a missing dependency.

I'm currently using Ubuntu 14.04 and installed Octave.

Octave seems to work fine, however the plot function just crashes. I have the octave, gnuplot and octave-plot installed. It tries to open a window for the plot but immediately crashes.

octave:3> plot(a)
/usr/bin/octave-cli: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liboctinterp.so.2: undefined symbol: FT_Reference_Face

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated and I will respond to emails.
