OK, I misunderstood the problem.  I would guess that the problem is
that your .oct file is not linked with all the symbols it requires.
Does it depend on external libraries?

If it is a dependency problem, it would be great if we could get
Octave to say something like

  error: unresolved symbol `bar' while loading foo.oct
  error: unable to load foo.oct

or similar instead of just the generic "symbol undefined" error that
it now prints, but I don't know how to do that.
