Ok, I just tried it in Lucid, be warned it is not as obvious as I thought.

I installed every package which is indicated by as: depends on

http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/octave3.2

however configure failed with

checking whether we are using the GNU Fortran 77 compiler... no
checking whether  accepts -g... no
checking how to get verbose linking output from ... configure: WARNING:

checking for Fortran 77 libraries of ...

`/home/oub/ALLES/ETC/Soft/Soft9/octave-3.4.2':

See `config.log' for more details


this is really great.
