Better method to build The Debian Way:
1) Add a deb-src line for sid to your sources.list (e.g. deb-src
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian sid main )
2) apt-get update
3) apt-get build-dep -t sid octave2.9 && apt-get -b source -t sid octave2.9
4) install the resultant debs.
This automates satisfying the build dependencies, getting the source
package, and building it with Ubuntu libs. It's less error-prone than
the other suggested method.
Good luck,
