Did you configure Octave with --enable-dld and --enable-lite-kernel?

The only way these messages should appear is if you are trying to use
these features.  They should work on a SunOS system if you have
installed Octave correctly.

I suspect that Octave is unable to find the correct libraries to link
to at run time.
