This is a standard loader error when the shared library is not in one of
the standard lib directories searched by ldconfig.

If you install Octave from Ubuntu's repository, by e.g. upgrading to
Ubuntu 18.10, then Octave's libraries will be on the default library
load path.

Otherwise, you can use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, add a
configuration file to /etc/ld.so.conf.d, or build your program with the
linker option -rpath.

See https://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO/shared-libraries.html
for more details.
