That's good to know. I'll start using

$ ./configure --enable-shared --disable-static --prefix=/usr/local/octave/2.9.3

But before I can do that I need to remove all of Octave. I guess I'll
uninstall 2.1.69 with apt-get and then remove anything outside my home
directory with Octave in it. Then start over.
