That doesn't get the stuff in /usr/local/bin or /usr/local/include or
probably some other directories.

If you are not using a package system and you want to be able to
easily remove a complete version of Octave (or any other package that
you install from source), then something like

  --prefix=/usr/local/octave/2.9.2

works well. Then you can just remove the complete
/usr/local/octave/2.9.2 directory tree and you're done.
