I really don't completely understand it myself, and I don't really want 
to go back to the state my octave installation was in this morning. 
However, I think it may have had something to do with the fact that the 
dispatch.oct function from octave-forge is loaded at startup, and it 
would have been linked to old versions of the octave libraries, which 
must have been changed when I linked to HDF5.
