Bug Description
Binary package hint: octave-plplot
I am running Ubuntu 8.04, octave 3.0 and I installed octave-plplot using Synaptic Package Manager.
gnuplot works fine as the default plotting tool.
At the octave command line I typed the command "toggle_plplot_use" to enable plplot as the plotting package.
Some warnings were issued relating to the built-in variable LOADPATH, but plplot was enabled.
Now the command "plot(1:10)" should plot a straight line. No plot is displayed. The following errors are shown:
error: liblapack.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
error: `plplot_octave' undefined near line 3163 column 1
error: called from `plsstrm'
error: evaluating if command near line 86, column 3

Thanks for the report and helping us make Ubuntu better. Could be a packaging issue and the warnings generated while doing a "toggle_plplot_use" could be of importance. Confirming the issue and below are the warning verbatim.
