Question about building under Linux

[James P. Howard, II]

Beautiful List Members,

I am trying to build Octave 3.0.1 under Linux.  During configure, it
notes that UMFPACK, and others, are unavailable, and I need these
features.  I have downloaded and successfully built SuiteSparse.
However, I cannot determine how to tell configure where these
libraries are installed and obvious solutions don't seem to work.
What is the method?

Thank you, James
