A couple of days ago i compiled octave under SuSE 7.3.
I used:
- octace v2.1.39 
- gcc 2.95.3 
- gnu Readline 4.3
- flex 2.5.4 & bison 1.28 

and octave forge:
- octave-forge-2002.05.09

A) For compiling octave:
Read the Dokument README.linux:
1)      ./configure --enable-shared
2)      make
3) as root: make install

Test for support of shared libs:
octave_config_info("ENABLE_DYNAMIC_LINKING")

B) For compiling octave-forge:
1) rm -r FIXES
and select extra packages by removing the file NOINSTALL from the extra
packages you want to install
2) ./configure
3)      make
4) as root: make install
