So what is in the file

  /usr/lib/octave/2.9.4/oct/i486-pc-linux-gnu//PKG_ADD

on your system?  Does it contain a line like

  autoload ("__gnuplot_init__", "...");

before the line

  __gnuplot_init__ ();

?  If so, precisely what is the second argument to the autoload
command?  Does the file named there exist on your system?  What
permissions does it have?
