I've formatted your code. Please read: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/13205-tutorial-how-to-format-your-question-with-markup. Thanks.
And if you copy and paste this code in the command window, you get the same error?

The error message seems to tell, that the equal character "=" is not valid. How strange. Perhaps it is the space behind the =, which is a backspace charcter '\b' ?!
The code looks okay. How did you insert it to the command window? Simply try to type it again.
What is in the line above? Perhaps a continuation '...' and you've added the ">>" manually? I admit, this is wild guessing.

The input character is not valid in MATLAB statements or expressions.
Error in lv (line 11)
[t,y] = ode45(@lvfun,[0 200],[1 1]); % solve ODE system over
Unsure as to what this means?

One or more of the characters in that expression (or perhaps inside lvfun) should be underlined in red in the Editor. If it is, tell us which one it is; copy and paste it between the single quotes in the following command; and tell us what MATLAB displays when you execute that command.
double('')
My suspicion is that you copied and pasted the code from something (Microsoft Word® for instance) that tries to be "nice" with its formatting. [The most common culprit is the "smart quote".]

@Kaya: Please do not post a new question in the section for answers, but open a new thread. Then post the complete error message. It seems like the most interesting part is missing.

First, I want to check whether you're calling the imhist.m included in Image Processing Toolbox or you're calling an imhist.m that you created or downloaded. What does this command display?
which -all imhist
If you're using the imhist function from Image Processing Toolbox, I want to check that you haven't accidentally modified it. What does this command display?
dbtype 1:1 imhist.m
Which release of Image Processing Toolbox are you using?
