Well, Octave 2.9.01 has api-v23.  You should also add
"/usr/lib/octave/site/oct/api-v22/"to the path, but this is almost
guaranteed to fail.  

The soutlion would be to rebuild octave2.9-forge_2006.07.09+dfsg1 against
octave2.9-headers_2.9.10.  It tried it and wasn't successful, however.
The upstream sources would need severe patching and I am not willing (and do
not have time) to do it.
