Those are included in the octave directory. You should not use outside 
libraries. 
Perhaps using external (lapack, GraphickMagik, ...) will cause conflict in the 
future.

I do no know the Pytave build system so that I cannot tell you what should be 
done in detail.
Octave build system has configure options that use external libraries at 
non-standard place like

--with-java-homedir=/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Java/jdk1.8.0_91/bin \
--with-java-includedir=/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Java/jdk1.8.0_91/include \
--with-java-libdir=/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Java/jdk1.8.0_91/lib 

(The above is example to use the oracle JAVA jdk for octave for windows.)

Does such configure options not exit on Pytave?
