You probably did this already, but just to make sure, this is the order
of building these things:
first do whatever upgrade to cygwin you want or need using the cygwin
setup program
now do a clean compile/install of octave
now do a clean compile/install of octave-forge
I think you error messages might stem from compiling different bits of
your setup with different compiler/library versions. Using the above
order of building should eliminate this uncertainty at least.

Hi
I’m a real novice, so please be very patient with me if I say something
stupid. You are, however, permitted to laugh if I say something
inadvertently funny – all I would ask is that you let me in on the joke!
I’ve been trying to get octave 2.1.57 + octave-forge 2004.07.07 working
on my WinXP PC using a very recent download of Cygwin. Most things work
well, and I am altogether hugely impressed. However, sadly, one of the
packages in which I’m most interested, the symbolic package from
octave-forge, is proving more stubborn, almost certainly because I don’t
know how to build it properly. I have downloaded, built and installed
cln-1.1.8, GiNaC-1.2.1, and octave-forge, and I did end up with a
“symbols.oct” file on the appropriate path, along with a large number of
“.oct” files symbolically linked to it. However, whenever I try to
execute any of the functions in the symbols.oct, I get the message
“error: dlopen: Win32 error 998”. I have a strong suspicion that
something hasn’t linked correctly, meaning that symbols.oct is broken,
and quite possibly, incomplete, but such is my ignorance I don’t have
the slightest idea how to fix it. I could try rebuilding everything
starting off with different options to the configure step, or, heaven
forbid, start messing about with makefiles, but given the time it takes
to build everything, it might be a very long time before I get anywhere.
All suggestions welcome, and all ridicule tolerated.
