That's not testing. Testing has Octave 2.9.9, and that's for a reason!

Downgrade to Octave 2.9.9. That's the fastest solution. Depending on your 
needs, you can add the octave2.9-forge paths to Octave's path. For .m files, 
this will likely work, for .oct files, it won't work.

Why do you symlink the paths? Just add them directly.
