Sorry for being imprecise. :-(

I mean liboctinterp.so, liboctave.so, liboctave.so.

$ ldd /usr/bin/octave
	linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff4ffff000)
	liboctinterp.so => /usr/lib/octave-3.0.1/liboctinterp.so
(0x00007f6a47126000)
	liboctave.so => /usr/lib/octave-3.0.1/liboctave.so (0x00007f6a46777000)
	libcruft.so => /usr/lib/octave-3.0.1/libcruft.so (0x00007f6a46512000)
...

which is normal but, for example,

$ ldd /usr/lib/octave/3.0.1/oct/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/__glpk__.oct
	linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff327fe000)
	libcruft.so => not found
	liboctave.so => not found
	liboctinterp.so => not found
...

and yet it still works (now).
