What following procedured?  Where is this message posted?

Did you install the Cygwin package of Octave?

If so, I'd bet that the problem is that you have gcc/g++ 3.4 installed
via Cygwin, but because of bugs in g++ 3.4 on Cygwin systems, the
Octave package is compiled with gcc/g++ 3.3.  You need to go back to
gcc/g++ 3.3 or you won't be able to build .oct files that work with
Octave on Cygwin systems.
