I am running the devel version for the sake of developing octave mode
for now.

Basically 'configure' doesn't complain and let 'make' run for minutes to
generate the error. This is a huge waste of time. I think I must have
run './configure and make' for a dozen times to fix all errors and
eventually produce a running octave.

'make' keeps complaining 'gperf' not found even though that package is
installed. it stopped after I installed gperftools-devel.

I am not exactly sure what happens.
