Sometimes (often) it may help to google around a bit before asking, e.g. 
for  "closerequestfcn octave".

If you would have done so, you'd have found this:

(and yeah, this is a creepy issue)

Another suggestion would be to try the MSVC2010 version. That doesn't 
suffer from the libblas issues (but may perform a bit slower, depending 
on your hardware).
