Please tell us what sources you are attempting to building (what version) and 
what options you specified when running configure.

I don't know if any one has built Octave on Mountain Lion yet.  If you are able 
to install octave-devel using MacPorts you might take a look at the port file 
for some hints as to what the maintainer has done to enable it to build.
