Details:

After MacPorts upgraded octave to 3.8.1, octave could no longer load the .oct
files that came with the control package.  (There was no path problem, but
dlopen() failed anyway, with "Reason: image not found", but the binary file
was there, dated April 18, meaning it's the same one that used to work.)

I uninstalled octave* and rebuilt like this (as I usually do):
