Perhaps you have hit the well known issue.

http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?44478


Start octave by
./run-octave -g --no-gui
(Octave starts under the gdb(debugger))
Press enter some times until you see octave start up screen and execute

>> test __osmesa_print__.cc-tst

Perhaps octave crashes with Segmentation fault
From gdb prompt,
(gdb) bt
and see the back trace. What the back traces tell?

Workaround

$ export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so


may temporarily avoid the issue.
