That's certainly not correct.  :-)

I looked back at your build description and you didn't do an install. 
I'm not sure, but I think one needs to be a superuser to install Octave, 
so you may have not installed properly.  Without an install, you need to 
use "run-octave" to properly set up the environment.  Are you doing 
something like this?

~/octave/run-octave --no-gui

?
