Thanks a lot. I got rid of the critical mistakes. 
Before doing the make, I would like to hear from you -and others
- about ways to improve the configuration obtained:
Octave is now configured for x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

  Source directory:     .
  Installation prefix:  /usr/local
  C compiler:           gcc   -Wall -W -Wshadow -g -O2
  C++ compiler:         g++   -Wall -W -Wshadow -g -O2
  Fortran compiler:     f77 -O
  Fortran libraries:    
  BLAS libraries:       
  FFTW libraries:       -lfftw3
  GLPK libraries:       
  UMFPACK libraries:    
  COLAMD libraries:     
  CCOLAMD libraries:    
  CHOLMOD libraries:    
  CXSPARSE libraries:   
  HDF5 libraries:       
  MPI libraries:        
  LIBS:                 -lreadline  -lncurses -ldl -lz -lm 
  Default pager:        less
  gnuplot:              gnuplot

  Do internal array bounds checking:  false
  Build static libraries:             false
  Build shared libraries:             true
  Dynamic Linking:                    true (dlopen)
  Include support for GNU readline:   true
  64-bit array dims and indexing:     false
                                     ^^^^^^^
configure: WARNING: UMFPACK not found.  This will result in some lack of 
functionality for sparse matrices.
configure: WARNING: COLAMD not found. This will result in some lack of 
functionality for sparse matrices.
configure: WARNING: CCOLAMD not found. This will result in some lack of

configure: WARNING: CHOLMOD not found. This will result in some lack of

configure: WARNING: CXSparse not found. This will result in some lack of 
functionality for sparse matrices.
configure: WARNING: HDF5 library not found.  Octave will not be able to save or 
load HDF5 data files.

Should I worry about the line on array indexing ?

Thanks, Avraham
