I would like to comment on the dispatch problem.
I made octave 2.1.60 and then octave-forge for 2.1.64 and, of course, it 
failed.  My problem was with the recovery.  I rebuilt octave with
--enable-share -disable-static
and octave-forge the same way.  Unfortunately the octave-forge rebuild 
didn't recognize the change and I neglected "make clean"; after I 
floundered around; "make clean" enabled it to work.  I don't know 
whether it's relevant but I also reached the conclusion that I needed to 
remove by hand the subdirectory .oct containing dispatch.oct.
My only wish is that the instructions/default would have told me to do 
all of this in the beginning or explicitly.
