This is a big fat bug in the octave sources. I don't know where they got
this "Mach-O" from. It has never existed.
Funnily enough, they have a ChangeLog entry
2003-06-16 Per Persson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* oct-shlib.cc: Include mach-o/dyld.h, not Mach-O/dyld.h.
They just didn't yet get around to fixing this in configure, too :-)
You can test if things work better if you make a symlink in /usr/include
from Mach-O to mach-o.
I did this on both my systems (on the server after
installing the 10.4.4 update). Octave and octave-forge both
build and install fine, and work (so far as the first few
examples go, have not had a chance to try more).
I did the test on my system, moved /usr/include/mach-o out of the way and
rebuilt octave. This gives me the same symptoms that you have been seeing. So
it seems that the code that they are using when Mach-O/dyld.h is not found
(using dlopen etc) is not working.
I am CCing the octave maintainer now, because octave-forge seems to be an
innocent victim in this affair.
Huge thanks for finding this and the fix! I can now go back
to trying to learn octave and make it do something useful...
