Do you have another 2.9.9+ version installed?

Is this with the current CVS sources?

Does your run-octave script have LD_PRELOAD lines in it?  The last few
lines of that script should look like this:

  if [ -n "$args" ]; then
    OCTAVE_SITE_INITFILE="$top_srcdir/scripts/startup/main-rcfile" \
    LD_PRELOAD="$liboctinterp $liboctave $libcruft" \
    
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$builddir/src:$builddir/liboctave:$builddir/libcruft:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
 \
      exec $driver "$builddir/src/octave" "$args" "$@"
  else
    OCTAVE_SITE_INITFILE="$top_srcdir/scripts/startup/main-rcfile" \
    LD_PRELOAD="$liboctinterp $liboctave $libcruft" \
    
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$builddir/src:$builddir/liboctave:$builddir/libcruft:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
 \
      exec $driver "$builddir/src/octave" "$@"
  fi

If they don't, then please make sure that you have the latest sources
from CVS and that the run-octave script is up to date.
