This looks like a bug in 'yapso'. Looking at the 'yapso' web site, I see
that the package has not been tested with Octave 3.2.x. I guess that
some internals of Octave has changed making an update in 'yapso'
necessary. This problems should be reported to the 'yapso' developers (a
mailing list is mentioned on the 'yapso' web site, so I'd use that).

The specific problem you are encountering can be easily solved by
changing

  mlock("yinit");

to

  mlock ();

in 'src/yfunction.cc' in the 'yapso' source code. I don't know if that
will be enough to install the package, though.
