Did you installed qtoctave . ?

[ramkiran]

But octave 4 has gui of its own. &I think qtoctave is dead . Qtoctave is working but I am trying for default GUI

[steeldriver]

Probably your system lacks one or more of the dependencies necessary to build the GUI, so that component was skipped. You will need to examine the config.log file to figure out what: if you need assistance, then edit your question to include the relevant section of the log file e.g. grep -B120 -A20 'Build Octave GUI' config.log

I think I'm being stacked at almost the same step... I found by running $ ./configure configure: WARNING: OpenGL libs (GL and GLU) not found -- disabling GUI This might be a key of solution.

It didn't work for me.

Unfortunately, that seems to not be enough to fix the problem. After installing many other packages, I've reduced the warnings to only the one about not finding OpenGL, but the steps you described didn't fix it.
