I take it that chowning .octave_hist did not solve the other error?

Sadly, no. It did improve the command recall (ctl-p or up-arrow): with only octave installed, command recall works as expected, and newly executed commands are added to ~/.octave_hist. With octave-forge installed, command recall works on whatever is in .octave_hist when octave is started, but newly executed commands are NOT added to the file.

Somehow your octave does not look in the right octfile directories and you need to find out why. What do you get from

octave-config --oct-site-dir

It should say

/sw/lib/octave/2.1.71/site/oct/powerpc-apple-darwin

It does...

Or do you have any octave-related environment variable set?

Nothing I can spot from doing "env" at a bash prompt. I certainly haven't knowingly set up anything extra for octave.
