I'm not sure what you're asking, but you should be able to fix the
error and get the string representation of an octave_value like this
(untested):

  std::ostringstream os;
  out(0).print (os);
  std::string s = os.str ();

If that's not what you're looking for, can you clarify what you're trying to do?
