Henry,
Just about every compiler or language has traditionally included a test file
called hello.cc, hello.f, hello.f90, etc. Hence, hello.cc is a popular name.

I would recommend copying any test .cc files out of /usr/local to a
directory located under your home directory, rather than trying to work with
them in /usr/local with root privileges, where you can accidentally damage
your installed applications. Assuming mkoctfile has been properly setup on
your machine (mkoctfile is built when you build octave), it should know to
look in /usr/local/share for the needed header (.h) files. If it has
difficulty, you can resort to copying the needed .h files to the same
directory as the .cc file.
