Well, I think gperf is installed.

 in the configure output:

...

checking for gperf... gperf

...

the oct-gperf.h file shows this:

/* Command-line: gperf -t -C -D -G -L C++ -Z octave_kw_hash octave.gperf  */

What is in the generated oct-gperf.h file?

Do you have gperf installed?

Did configure warn about gperf?
