The files octave_logo.eps and octave_logo.pdf are not generated; They are
under source control and distributed in the tarball so they are present
before any call to create octave.dvi.  I would guess that there is a path
problem and Texinfo is not searching in the correct directory.  Maybe try
changing directory to doc/interpreter and try running 'make octave.pdf' to
see if that helps.
