Pushed a fix. Can be closed.

Reason was a configure test failing erroneously in Octave 3.8.2, leading to usage of an as yet unused macro version for error handling, which had a bug.

The segfaults with different Octave versions were unrelated and are now fixed (bug #49992, was triggered by having Debians Octave installed concurrently). The current bug seems not to occur in Octave version 4.0.0 and later.

Reproduced with Debians Octave 3.8.2, with currently no clue from gdb why octave_value.string_value() shouldn't have worked. With Octave 4.0.0 and current 4.3.0+ (2017-01-03, 53bb781d70c0) I get segfaults at dlopen time with a weird, possibly corrupted backtrace. I suspect a poorly reproducible bug in initialization of globals, possibly indirectly causing the original issue of this report. I'm at work on it.

I tried to connect to a test database via

and get the error:

For an empty database I get the same error.

I'm working on a Debian 8.6 machine with postgresql 9.4.9. I installed the packages struct 1.0.14 and database 2.4.2 without any problem report as root user via:

pkg install -forge -global -verbose struct
pkg install -forge -global -verbose database
