This:

# prelink -mR /usr/bin/octave
/usr/sbin/prelink.bin: /usr/lib/octave-2.1.73/liboctinterp.so: Could not find
  one of the dependencies
#

A workaround is to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/octave-2.1.73, but that's
awkward and would have to be adjusted every time the minor number changes.

I note that liboctinterp.so does not have a DT_RPATH note, unlike the
octave binary itself and liboctave.so -- it might work (but would not be
as clean a fix) to give liboctinterp.so an RPATH.
