After running configure, you need to look in the config.log file to
see why the camd library and/or header files are not found.

It would be nice if the ufsparse libraries were easier to install, but
the place for scripts to do that is the ufsparse distribution, not
Octave, so if you are finding ufsparse difficult to install, I'd
suggest bugging the maintainer of ufsparse.
