Hello,

I have a similar problem on linux system, kernel 2.0.33:

/house/chris/Archive/octave-2.0.10/examples>octave
Octave, version 2.0.10 (i486-pc-linux-gnulibc1).

octave:1> octave_config_info('dld')
ans =3D 1
octave:2> ls oregonator.*
oregonator.cc   oregonator.m    oregonator.o    oregonator.oct
octave:3> oregonator([1,1,1],0)
octave: can't resolve symbol 'elem__C17octave_value_listi'
/house/chris/Archive/octave-2.0.10/examples>

Maybe the source of this problem is the same.
If somebody knows a hint please replay.
