Krishnan,

For installing the libraries there is no “make install”.  The .a files usually go to the obvious /usr/local/lib, but octave is also looking for header files in /usr/local/include. The best strategy is, by trial an error, to find the missing headers from inspection of the octave config.log, and to keep installing them in the /include directory until the octave configure script is happy. Also, watch the permissions on the .h files. I think the original library was built with root privileges.

I think you need to build all of SuiteSparse (called UFsparse until a
few weeks ago) because there are some dependencies between the
libraries. Since you're dealing with RedHat and CentOS, and Fedora has
ufsparse RPMs, I'd suggest that you try rebuilding the Fedora SRPM. It
can be found at
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/development/SRPMS/ufsparse-2.1.0-1.fc6.src.rpm  <http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/development/SRPMS/ufsparse-2.1.0-1.fc6.src.rpm>
