I installed the gmsh using the synaptic packge manager and built octave-3.8.1.
I could build it without any errors.

make check results:

Summary:

  PASS     11537
  FAIL         0
  XFAIL        7
  SKIPPED      2

I noticed that a few octave depency libraries (e.g hd5) were replaced in 
installing the gmsh.
