at home and at work I have the same problem with octave under cygwin. In both cases I octave just quits without giving any output, no prompt, no error messages.
Check also that your PATH includes /usr/lib/lapack, as octave appears to need the dlls found there. My default path doesn't contain this, and octave by itself fails as you describe: : 1007; octave : 1008; echo $? 53 whereas : 1009; PATH="$PATH:/usr/lib/lapack" octave GNU Octave, version 2.1.73 (i686-pc-cygwin).
