Octave can work with libc6, but the binary distribution you picked up
was linked against libc6, so you would need that.

Why don't you just build Octave from the current sources (2.0.13)?

Or, you could get the binary distribution that is available from
ftp://ftp.che.wisc.edu/pub/octave/BINARIES/2.0.13.  It is also
dynamically linked, but relative to libc5.
