Yes, BLAS, LAPACK, and PCRE are the three must-have dependencies for
building Octave.

The list that comes to mind is on http://wiki.octave.org/Debian. The
mandatory and optional library dependencies are listed there, although
it doesn't tell you what purpose each of the optional libraries serve,
but many you may be able to figure out. On your RHEL-based system,
you'll have to translate some of those package names (e.g.
arpack-devel instead of libarpack2-dev).
Or, if your system has the EPEL repository configured, you can try
querying the EPEL version of Octave for its build-dependencies:
repoquery --enablerepo=epel-source --requires octave.src
This tells you exactly what the Fedora packagers decided are the build
requirements for packaging Octave, at least the version of Octave that
is built for RHEL 6.
