Judging from some search results based on the missing symbols, I'm
guessing you are doing a build with gcc, g++, and ifort. Can you confirm
this is correct by looking at config.log? Is this what you intended? Is
your environment set up to use ifort correctly (e.g. compilervars.sh)?

I'm afraid not many on this list will be very motivated to help you get
Octave working with a non-free compiler. I hope these few suggestions
will help you solve your problem one way or another.

FWIW, the GNU fortran compiler works very well to compile Octave on both
rhel5 and rhel6, simply install the appropriate "gcc-gfortran" package.

HTH,
