octave doesn't recognize end as an index
Example:

foo =

   1   2   3

>> foo(end)
error: 'a' undefined near line 9 column 12
error: called from

error: evaluating argument list element number 1
error: called from

works for me too:

>> foo = [1 2 3]
foo =

   1   2   3

>> foo(end)
ans =  3

have you tried clearing your workspace? since it's bringing up some error about a completely unrelated variable 'a', maybe you overwrote 'end' as a variable or function?
