Mandrake is a bad idear, unless you can get hold of a *mdk.i586.rpm.

THe reason that most RPMS don't probably work with your mandrake system 
is because Mandrake sets default architecture to i586, whereas other 
RPMS are generally i386.

If compilation doesn't work... your only hope would be to grab the 
Mandrake RPMS... from someone who has successfully compiled it...

Have you tried www.rpmfind.net. I'm sure the'll have octave-x.x-mdk.i568.rpm

Good luck
