​I seriously doubt you can compile a recent octave on a stock RHEL 6.x and

related distros. Those are just too old and octave wants newer version of development
tools.

To compile octave on RHEL7 I  had to install a newer version of sed and libtool

(and probably something else which I have forgotten).
