Please use the help list for questions about using and installing
Octave.  The maintainers list is for discussions about developing
Octave.

When you post your question to the help list, don't hijack some other
thread.  Start a new thread with a meaningful subject line for your
topic.

But I'll take a WAG at the problem you have.  You don't seem to have
g++ installed.  You will also need gfortran and lots of other things.
Since you're using Ubuntu, you can probably get most of the
dependencies for building Octave with

  apt-get build-dep octave3.2
