Thanks, that made the trick.
May I suggest that the --enable-shared will be the default flag? I guess 
that many users follow these steps (build octave, then build 
octave-forge). Making that flag the default will save them troubles.

Also, it might be appropriate to close the help forum in octave.sf.net, 
since it is practically inactive. Users can be referred to this mailing 
list, instead.
