there is no /usr/local/share/octave/ folder, even if I do make install.

I looked back at your build description and you didn't do an install. I'm not sure, but I think one needs to be a superuser to install Octave, so you may have not installed properly.  Without an install, you need to use "run-octave" to properly set up the environment.  Are you doing something like this?

~/octave/run-octave --no-gui

?

Well,

~/octave/run-octave --no-gui seems to work fine: it starts with correct path, simple plot example is also works.
but ./run-octave still does not work.

The same for installed dev binaries: /usr/local/bin/octave-3.7.5 does not work, but works with --no-gui.

Kirill.
