I had a similar problem. There were two issues:
1. Get the right version of octave-forge. Each release of
octave-forge is for a specific version of Octave. It's noted on
the page, but it took me a couple of downloads to get it
right... :-)
2. Instead of "make", use "make -k". this will continue if
something won't compile, and skip the functions/modules that
don't compile. I did this and the functions I wanted worked.
I hope this is both correct and helpful!
