And

configure: error: to build Octave, you must have the PCRE library and
header files installed

I may have missed something.

I build octave 4.1.0+ on Ubuntu 14.04.  I do NOT have libosmesa installed.

I used 'sudo apt-get build-dep octave' and then configure and compile.

It worked with no errors.

Have you tried 'sudo apt-get build-dep octave'?

Here are the steps I followed.

sudo apt-get build-dep octave
## download and unpack the tar file.
## do this in a directory that you have not used before.
cd octave
./configure
make
make check
