 From what it seems, loadimge() doesnt read .gif files. So you are stuck 
here.
Checking on the list archives, I see
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.octave.general/12518/match=gif+files

So you need to install the image package from octave-forge, and then use 
imread()
from there.  This should be straightforward.
