If you install all the octave-forge packages, I strongly recommend to make the 
oct2mat not autoload.

Execute once

pkg rebuild -noauto oct2mat

from the octave prompt and quit and restart octave.
Execute 'pkg list' and confirm that the oct2mat is not autoloaded.

When you want use the oct2mat package, execute 'pkg load oct2mat' after using 
the oct2mat, restart
octave for unload oct2mat by 'pkg unload oct2mat'.

If you install plot package, rename ginput.m in
...\Octave\3.2.4_gcc-4.4.0\share\octave\packages\plot-1.0.7 like ginput.m.tmp.  
On octave 3.2.4 itself
has ginput.m.  The treatment described here is for avoiding the conflicting.

If ginput is slow in your computer, please add a line to
...\Octave\3.2.4_gcc-4.4.0\share\octave\3.2.4\m\plot\__gnuplot_ginput__.m 
(around line 112)

str = {};
    while (isempty (str))
      sleep(0.05); # **** add this line *****
      str = char (fread (istream)');

I hope the above is useful for the students in your university.
