And

configure: error: to build Octave, you must have the PCRE library and
header files installed

Hi RT,

If you don't mind using unofficial packages, there's a ppa of octave 4.1 for ubuntu trusty.

https://launchpad.net/~dac922/+archive/ubuntu/octave-unstable

You can also download the source package and look at the debian/control file for the build dependencies, or build it the debian way. :-)

Regards,
ST
