octaveforge, history not working

[Y U Sasidhar]

I  have  installed  octave 2.1.50 earlier;  now I  installed
octave-forge-2003.06.02.tar.gz
I also installed gnuplot 3.8j to be able use mouse.
Its working. But history is not working ! i.e. arrow keys don't recall 
previous
commands.
I get the error messages:
====================
error: 
/usr/local/libexec/octave/2.1.50/site/oct/i686-pc-linux-gnu/octave-forge/dispatch.oct 
is not a valid shared library
error: `dispatch' undefined near line 2 column 1
error: near line 2 of file 
`/usr/local/share/octave/2.1.50/site/m/octave-forge/comm//PKG_ADD'
octave:1>

=======================
following installation of octave-forge I got the following:

=================================

To use, add the following to .octaverc:
  LOADPATH = [
'/usr/local/libexec/octave/2.1.50/site/oct/i686-pc-linux-gnu/octave-forge:/usr/local/share/octave/2.1.50/site/m/octave-forge//:',
LOADPATH ];
  EXEC_PATH = [
'/usr/local/libexec/octave/2.1.50/site/exec/i686-pc-linux-gnu:', EXEC_PATH
];
=============================
I created the .octaverc in home directory as above; still the problem 
persists.
