Mike,

As Bill said, don't install the sparse stuff in octave-forge and use 
octave 2.9.3, this is appropriate as you have a 64-bit platform, and the 
2.9.x series has introduced 64-bit support. The 64-bit is still under 
work, and is missing a couple of features but seems fairly stable where 
it is complete.

However for the image, statistics and comm toolboxes the information you 
supplied is insufficent to diagnose the cause of the problems. What is 
needed is the build log, with compile errors. I'm particularly 
interested in the build errors for the comm toolbox as that one is mine :-)

Cheers
David
