Which g++/gcc combination are you trying here? Octave2.1 has not compiled
with pre-3.0 versions for years, so it wouldn't make sense to try
octave-forge with it.

These are the Build-Depends for testing/unstable (driven in part by how the
package calls configure):
  Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 3.0.0), octave2.1-headers (>= 2.1.55-1),
    xlibs-dev, g77 [!m68k], fort77 [m68k], g++, libqhull-dev, 
    libginac-dev [!m68k !mipsel], libgmp3-dev, autoconf, libjpeg62-dev, 
    libncurses5-dev, libreadline4-dev, tetex-bin

Try to get as close as you can for woody, and when you succeed, try to get
in contact with backports.org as backports of octave2.1 and octave-forge may
be of interest to others.
