My platform is lenny except for a sid kernel and sid X packages (which should not affect PLplot/octave). After your question I realized I could no longer build the octave bindings on my (mostly) lenny system. Here is the relevant cmake output: -- OCTAVE = /usr/bin/octave -- WARNING: mkoctfile not found. Disabling octave bindings In fact the locate command confirms there is no longer any mkoctfile file on my system. If you search for that file at http://www.us.debian.org/distrib/packages it turns out that it is now located in the octave2.1-headers package. (I assume there was a decision to move it from the octave2.1 package, and that change took effect during one of my recent updates to lenny.) After I installed the octave2.1-headers package on sid, the PLplot octave bindings again can be built and (c)tested without troubles. I would advise the original poster to install the octave*headers package for whatever version of octave they use, and hopefully that will also solve their issue.
