This was a 'probing attempt -no tests were performed.  However 
I needed TEX in the first place because of octave-3.3.52 which  fails to make 
without  TEX  using default settings.  
After carryying out the above I did  another run on octave and it failed  with 
:-


../../run-octave -f -q -H ./mk_doc_cache.m doc-cache ../../scripts/DOCSTRINGS 
../../src/DOCSTRINGS || { rm -f doc-cache; exit 1; }
TEXINPUTS="./..:$TEXINPUTS" \
        MAKEINFO='/bin/sh $SOURCES/octave-3.3.52/build-aux/missing --run 
makeinfo   
-I .' \
        texi2dvi octave.texi
make[3]: *** [octave.dvi] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `$SOURCES/octave-3.3.52/doc/interpreter'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `$SOURCES/octave-3.3.52/doc'

I did a check of the TEX instalation and   it does not have texi2dvi.  I would 
be grateful if you or nyone else on list could advise how this could be 
compiled in.

---------------
I just did a check and found out that texi2dvi  is part of the texinfo program 
installed with clfs.  However texlive2009  does not seem to want to  platy
with it.  
Suggestions of workrounds would be appreciated.
