If you wish, I can send you a snapshot of my AppsFromScratch.

I am using it to build many things, including 'octave', and root permission is 
not needed since
both build and install are conducted in directories chosen by user, under the 
user ID.

Dependencies are encoded, so using one command line you'll hopefully be able to 
build 'octave',
though it'll take time.

At the moment 'octave' part is for 32 bits x86 machines, which is probably the 
case.

Regards,
  Sergei.
