The problem is "g++: internal compiler error". This either means your
version of gcc has a bug, or possibly you haven't given enough memory to
your virtual machine.

I was showing you how to find the name of the package to install
yourself. If you see an error about a missing program, try running the
program and Ubuntu will tell you what package to install.

What is the reason for building Octave yourself instead of just
installing it from your distribution? Do you want to work with Octave
development or do you just want to get it running?
