I don't know what could cause this.  As far as I can tell, strcmpi and
strncmpi should always be defined.  Can you look in your
src/DOCSTRINGS file and see if the strcmpi and strncmpi docstrings
were copied there from the src/strfns.cc file.  Maybe they were
omitted or mangled in some way.  What is in teh src/strfns.df file in
your build tree?

Do you have any rpl_ functions?  What happens if you type

  rpl_ <TAB>

at the Octave prompt?
