what missing file do you refer to?
The problem I have with building developent sources (and which has  
been going on for quite a while now)
is that I am unable to run the octave binary as I always get:
$ ./run-octave
Bus error

this makes the build process stop at the stage where the docs are  
produced.
I'm on Mac OSX Leopard compiling with gcc/gfortran 4.0
