Non-standard installation. You need to provide some hint to the compiler to
find your files:

env CPPFLAGS="-I${HOME}/opt/local/include" LDFLAGS="-L${HOME}/opt/local/lib
./configure --prefix=/tools/octave

You may need to further refine this depending on the path where components
(include file, library .a and .so files) can be found. To figure it out:
./configure --help
