It was a pain to get it running anyway, as you also needed to set up Cygwin, GNUplot + a GNUplot patch, and pipe-gnuplot yourself. The 2.1.31 binary should run OK. If it yields errors, please report details to the bug-octave mailing list. A way out for you might be to install Cygwin completely and compile 2.0.16 yourself, see amongst others message #389 in this list. It is really quite easy; because you already installed 2.1.31 and got Octave running (at least that is what I understand), the difficult nitty-gritty is already taken care of. All you need to do after compiling & building is to copy octaverc from the 2.1.31 startup directory to that of 2.0.16, then GNUplot will run fine too.
