As for the configure, I believe you should have written something like export CXXFLAGS="-I/home/bekkerd/Downloads/octave/UMFPACKv4.4/UMFPACK/Include/" ./configure --with-umfpack="/home/bekkerd/Downloads/octave/UMFPACKv4.4/UMFPACK/Lib/libumfpack.a /home/bekkerd/Downloads/octave/UMFPACKv4.4/AMD/Lib/libamd.a" But if you can use teh fedora or debian packages, because they go to the trouble of building shared libraries..
