Command windows in GUI of Octave 4.2.0/Ubuntu 16.04LTS does not response

[Yu Shen]

When compiling Octave 4.2.0 on Ubuntu 16.04LTS, per instruction here:
http://wiki.octave.org/Octave_for_Debian_systems#Configuration
Compiling from source

without any adaption, all seemed going well. But when running ./local-check, the GUI showed up, but the command window had no prompt, and typing command resulted no echo, nor result shown in the command window. But the command did entered into command history.

I also tried to configure it for 64-bit per the instruction found at http://wiki.octave.org/Octave_for_Debian_systems#Configuration
but the problem remained the same.

When running make-check, there some failure, and eventually segmentation fault, not sure if it's related.
Here is the information about the failure:
