You may want to try the "official" cygwin version of octave, which is 2.1.71,
available with cygwin setup.exe.

If you do, make certain you do _not_ install the cygwin gcc 3.4.4 compiler for
use with mkoctfile, but instead use the gcc 3.3.3 compiler, which is what
2.1.71 is compiled with.

I have been unable to produce a working version of 2.1.71 using gcc 3.4.4 on
cygwin.
