It wasn't installed, thanks

$ make clean && ./bootstrap && ./configure && make

It seems that generate the same error:
http://pastebin.com/4hRT6s73

./libinterp/parse-tree/oct-parse.h
not found

/octave/libinterp$ ls

(This night I will do a fresh build with new sources: hg clone.
Perhaps too much "make clean")
