All of them should be enabled by default if they are found by octave's 
configure script. Sometimes things are not installed in the places where 
octave expects them to be, so it's best to check the summary printed out 
at the end of the configure script before you run make to determine 
whether it found everything you wanted it to. In some cases you may need 
extra flags to get things to work.
