Remote installation problem for 3.2.4 on Ubuntu 8.04

[Kanny]

I am trying to install Octave 3.2.4 on Ubuntu 8.04 remotely using ssh.
Using apt-get install octave3.0, it installs fine, but i need sparse  
functions from 3.2.3 or 3.2.4, so the problem.

First it needed fortran, so i installed gfortran using apt-get. Now it  
compiles for a good time and then gives error related to display:

g++ -c  -fPIC -I. -I.. -I../liboctave -I../src -I../libcruft/misc  - 
DHAVE_CONFIG_H -mieee-fp -Wall -W -Wshadow -Wold-style-cast -Wformat - 
g -O2 -pthread display.cc -o pic/display.o
display.cc:34:22: error: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory

display.cc:113: error: ‘DisplayHeightMM’ was not declared in this scope
display.cc:114: error: ‘DisplayWidthMM’ was not declared in this scope
make[2]: *** [pic/display.o] Error 1

I tried to install build-dep (octave3.0), but get the error from apt- 
get to include some sources. Does anyone know which sources I should  
include in /etc/apt/sources.list for octave build-dep ? Even better  
would have been a source for binary like apt-get install octave3.2.4 ?

I do not plan to use graphics/plotting functionalities, so is there a  
way to resolve this problem alternately? I tried with --without-x but  
the same error is resulted.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
