You need to run ./configure with --disable-octave & then hopefully  
you'll be in the clear. The error "undefined symbol _plparseopts" has  
been a long standing problem with Octave on OS-X. It has been fixed  
in the cvs version, but there haven't been any releases in a while.  
Ideally we'll have new a release in a month or so and you can grab  
that and use plplot with octave.

best,
