I've had the same problem.  In gnuplot I can "set term linux" and it works fine.
When running octave (as root) I try "gset term linux" and get 

octave:1> gset term linux
octave:2>	line 0: Linux terminal driver not available

I'm using the octave precompiled binary (rpm) that comes with RedHat 5.2 on my 
laptop.  No problems in X windows but sometimes I'd rather not run with X.
