Installing Octave-4.0.0 on CentOS yields QtOpenGL linking error

[A. S.]

I am in the process of trying to install Octave-4.0.0 on a CentOS 6 cluster.  `yum` only has Octave-3.4.3, so I installed Octave-3.4.3 from `yum` with the hope that it would get the majority of dependencies right. I also installed (via `yum`) 

    arpack-devel-3.1.3-1.el6.x86_64 
    fltk-devel-1.1.10-1.el6.x86_64 
    gl2ps-devel-1.3.5-1.el6.x86_64 
    glpk-devel-4.40-1.1.el6.x86_64 
    qhull-devel-2003.1-14.el6.x86_64 
    qrupdate-devel-1.1.2-1.el6.x86_64 
    qscintilla-devel-2.4-1.el6.x86_64 
    suitesparse-devel-3.4.0-9.el6.x86_64 

and from source 

    pcre-8.36 

I run auto config : 

    ./configure JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.79.x86_64/"  CPPFLAGS="-I/home/path/to/user/local/include"  --prefix=/home/path/to/user/local/  --with-blas=/usr/lib64/atlas/libf77blas.so.3 --with-lapack=/usr/lib64/atlas/liblapack.so.3 

It seems to find things fine and then when I run `make` it takes about 30 minutes to compile and then fails with : 

    . 
    . 
    . 
    make[2]: Entering directory /gpfs0/home/path/to/user/local/src/octave-4.0.0/src'

    make[1]: Leaving directory '/gpfs0/home/path/to/user/local/src/octave-4.0.0' 
    make: *** [all] Error 2 

In the Makefile generated by auto conf it appears that it should be linking to the Qt libraries correctly, i.e. 

    . 
    . 
    . 
    QT_CFLAGS = -DQT_SHARED -I/usr/include/QtCore -I/usr/include/QtGui -I/usr/include/QtNetwork -I/usr/include/QtOpenGL 
    QT_CPPFLAGS = -I/usr/include/QtCore -I/usr/include/QtGui -I/usr/include/QtNetwork -I/usr/include/QtOpenGL 
    QT_LDFLAGS = 
    QT_LIBS = -lQtNetwork -lQtOpenGL -lQtGui -lQtCore   -lqscintilla2 
    . 
    . 
    . 

In /usr/lib64/ I checked the contents of the Qt libraries 

    $ for i in *Qt*.so.4.6.2; do echo $i; nm -C -D $i | grep -i checkWindowRole; done 
    libQt3Support.so.4.6.2 
                     U QObjectPrivate::checkWindowRole() 
                     U QWidgetPrivate::checkWindowRole() 
    libQtAssistantClient.so.4.6.2 
    libQtCLucene.so.4.6.2 
    libQtCore.so.4.6.2 
    00000000001657b0 T QObjectPrivate::checkWindowRole() 
    libQtDBus.so.4.6.2 
                     U QObjectPrivate::checkWindowRole() 
    libQtDesignerComponents.so.4.6.2 
    libQtDesigner.so.4.6.2 
    libQtGui.so.4.6.2 
                     U QObjectPrivate::checkWindowRole() 
    00000000002388f0 T QWidgetPrivate::checkWindowRole() 
    libQtHelp.so.4.6.2 
    libQtMultimedia.so.4.6.2 
                     U QObjectPrivate::checkWindowRole() 
    libQtNetwork.so.4.6.2 
                     U QObjectPrivate::checkWindowRole() 
    libQtOpenGL.so.4.6.2 
                     U QObjectPrivate::checkWindowRole() 
                     U QWidgetPrivate::checkWindowRole() 
    libQtScript.so.4.6.2 
                     U QObjectPrivate::checkWindowRole() 
    libQtScriptTools.so.4.6.2 
                     U QObjectPrivate::checkWindowRole() 
                     U QWidgetPrivate::checkWindowRole() 
    libQtSql.so.4.6.2 
                     U QObjectPrivate::checkWindowRole() 
    libQtSvg.so.4.6.2 
                     U QObjectPrivate::checkWindowRole() 
                     U QWidgetPrivate::checkWindowRole() 
    libQtTest.so.4.6.2 
    libQtXmlPatterns.so.4.6.2 
                     U QObjectPrivate::checkWindowRole() 
    libQtXml.so.4.6.2 

And it appears that `QWidgetPrivate::checkWindowRole()` is declared (if I'm interpreting `nm` correctly?) within `libQtGui.so.4.6.2`.  This library is already linked to (see above) 

QUESTION : How to I get Octave-4.0.0 to compile and fix this issue?
