This just sounds like the octave libs didn't get installed where ld.so
expects to find them. For the purposes of seeing if this is the problem,
try appending the path to your octave libraries to LD_LIBRARY_PATH:


    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:"/usr/foo/bar/lib"

and running octave again.  If this works, then you need to understand
why your config/install was such that the libs were not being placed 
into a directory where the loader expects to find it (which is determined
in part by /etc/ld.so.conf.) See ldconfig(8).


(Also... ld.so.1 is ancient... but that may be what was up to date in
that older version of SunOS...)
