this is a library problem.  look at what octave expects with ldd
octave.  check the version of your shared libstdc++ found in /usr/lib.
you probably have more than one since this library has been going
through a number of changes recently.  i have four or five of them.
it could even be a C++ name mangling issue.

the easiest solution imho is get the source and compile your own
octave.  if you use redhat, i have an rpm spec file which works for me
and octave 2.0.14.  e-mail me and let me know if you want it.
