You are using sumskipnan.oct. Unfortunately, the sumskipnan.oct does not
yet support complex numbers.
I suggest using sumskipnan.mex or sumskipnan.m.
When you delete sumskipnan.oct, everything should work fine again.
If the performance penalty is too bad, use sumskipnan.mex.
mkoctfile -mex sumskipnan.cpp
