Octave does not seem to be able to load dispatch.oct.

I do not really know what is going on here, but I am suspicious of the fact
that you have mixed 2.95.3 and 3.4.0 system. I do not think those are
binary comapatible (i.e. libraries compiled with one will not link with
another one). So that might be your problem.
You can also do ldd dispatch oct, e.g. (your path to this file may be different):

ldd /usr/local/libexec/octave/2.1.57/site/oct/i686-pc-linux-gnu/octave-forge/dispatch.oct

And see if octave and dispatch use the same c and c++ libraries (libgcc, libstdc++ ...).
