Please send reply also to ***octave-ML***.
 

What is below tell?


$ ls /usr/local/libexec/octave/4.0.0/exec/i686-pc-linux-gnu
 
For me
octave-gui

Perhaps nothing appeared for you 

In the case you failed to build octave-gui.

First
http://pastie.org/10260429

You seem to fail to install build dependencies.

First uninstall octave-3.8.1 and its dev
$ sudo apt-get remove octave liboctave-dev


I have seen two old instructions:
https://scivision.co/compiling-octave-3-8/

https://scivision.co/compiling-octave-4-0-on-ubuntu-14-04/


The above is not complete:
I have arranged the dependencies and add some components.

sudo apt-get install gfortran debhelper automake dh-autoreconf texinfo 
texlive-latex-base texlive-generic-recommended epstool transfig pstoedit 
libreadline-dev libncurses5-dev gperf libhdf5-serial-dev libblas-dev 
liblapack-dev libfftw3-dev texi2html less libpcre3-dev flex libglpk-dev 
libsuitesparse-dev gawk ghostscript libcurl4-gnutls-dev libqhull-dev 
desktop-file-utils libfltk1.3-dev libgl2ps-dev libgraphicsmagick++1-dev 
libftgl-dev libfontconfig1-dev libqrupdate-dev libarpack2-dev dh-exec 
libqt4-dev libqscintilla2-dev default-jdk dpkg-dev gnuplot-x11 libbison-dev 
libxft-dev llvm-dev librsvg2-dev libosmesa6-dev portaudio19-dev libsndfile1-dev


Perhaps some packages are already installed.


If you finish 

configure 

please report *full* configure summary like shown below 
http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/Unable-to-compile-octave-forge-Is-it-compatible-with-octave-4-0-0-tp4671242p4671258.html


and send config.log as an attachment file.
