I haven't seen this particular error, but here's some things I had to do
to get my .oct files working:

(1) Make sure gcc was compiled with --enable-shared.
(2) Run mkoctfile with sources, not object files, e.g.
    mkoctfile newsvd.cc xstuff.f
  not
    f77 -c xstuff.f
    mkoctfile newsvd.cc xstuff.o
(3) Make sure your LD_LIBRARY_PATH points to your octave libs.  If you
    configured octave with --prefix=prefix_dir, then LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    should include prefix_dir/lib/octave-2.x.x (your version here)

Hope this helps.
