I tried running ./configure and this time with LANG=C make. Still I encountered the same error:

Making all in faq
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/chethan/Applications/octave-3.4.0/doc/faq'
TEXINPUTS="./..:$TEXINPUTS" \
    MAKEINFO='/bin/sh /home/chethan/Applications/octave-3.4.0/build-aux/missing --run makeinfo   -I .' \
    texi2dvi OctaveFAQ.texi
make[3]: *** [OctaveFAQ.dvi] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/chethan/Applications/octave-3.4.0/doc/faq'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/chethan/Applications/octave-3.4.0/doc'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/chethan/Applications/octave-3.4.0'
make: *** [all] Error 2

except for "egrep: Invalid range end" which was missing!

Thanks and regards,

Chethan S.

The reason was some texinfo incompatibility thing and the workaround
is to do "LANG=C make" instead of plain "make".
