Have you also octave-devel ?

You can also try:

1)
 put the source package on the cygwin tree and check permissions,
 as you can easily mismatch the permissions;
 from shell:

 cp /cygdrive/c/Sources/Octave/control-2.1.55.tar.gz /usr/src
 cd /usr/src
 chmod 666 control-2.1.55.tar.gz

2)
  from octave:
  pkg install  -noauto -verbose control-2.1.55.tar.gz


Please note that cygwin already has control-2.1.52 in
the octave-forge package.

$ cygcheck -c -d |grep octave
octave                         3.4.2-1
octave-devel                   3.4.2-1
octave-doc                     3.4.2-1
octave-forge                   20110730-1
