Details:

build directory: /home/tomdean/Math/Octave/octave-build
source directory: /home/tomdean/Math/Octave/octave

This appears to be a path problem in make.  The build generates a proper
executable.

configure and build complete up to the point where 
> cd /home/tomdean/Math/Octave/octave-build
> ../octave/configure
... success
> make
...
make[3]: Entering directory
`/home/tomdean/Math/Octave/octave-build/doc/interpreter'
cp voronoi.png octave.html
cp: cannot stat 'voronoi.png': No such file or directory
...

make check fails at the same point.

Octave successfully built.  Now choose from the following:

   ./run-octave    - to run in place to test before installing
   make check      - to run the tests
   make install    - to install (PREFIX=/usr/local)
