You need the development packages. I don't know which distribution 
you're using, but on Fedora they are called readline-devel, 
ncurses-devel, termcap-devel, etc.

I'm not sure about this, but I think it might be trying to load ufsparse 
libraries that are not present.

Which distribution are you using anyway? If it's Fedora, why not just 
use the Fedora Extras version of octave, which can be installed with 
"yum install octave".
