The 2005.06.13 release doesn't build with newer octave 2.9.x releases. 
This has been fixed in CVS. You can try to make a release based on CVS 
or wait for a new release. I'm maintaining Octave-forge in Fedora, and 
I've been tempted to release a CVS-based package, but for now I'm 
waiting in hopes that a new release is soon.
