WavePath.m does a check for what kind of system you're running in order
to decide whether to use / or \ to separate directory names in the path.
 It looks like it doesn't recognize your system type because Octave is
running through cygwin or something similar.

Could you run the following commands in Octave and report the results
back?

1. computer
2. isunix
3. ispc

With that information I should be able to make a quick fix to WavePath.m.
