1) We prefer the name of the package that actually failed to be the
subject. The fact that you wanted octave doesn't matter.
2) We prefer inline text to attachments to make the message threads
more coherent. When people use attachments our volunteers have to paste
the text back.
3) There normally is no need to include build output from packages
other than the one that failed. Our volunteer staff doesn't like to
have to dig through a bunch of irrelevant text.

ERROR: Unbound variable: define
My suggestion when somebody reported this same error on fink-users was
the following:
I'd recommend using the binary distribution:
1) Edit /sw/etc/apt/sources.list as an administrator and add
deb http://bindist.finkproject.org/10.9 stable main
to it.
2) Run "sudo apt-get update"
3) Use "sudo apt-get install octave"
You may also want to edit your /sw/etc/fink.conf as an administrator and
change "UseBinaryDist: false" to "UseBinaryDist: true". If you do that
then "fink install" will also install prebuilt binaries, provided that
the binary distribution contains the newest version that fink knows about.
