For any that care, (and I suspect there are few,) I have found one of the issues in the octave make failure. It would appear that I was missing the package pcre-devel. The failure message was that of not being able to find pcre.
Now the build proceeds to the end and claims to be successful. However a "make check" fails with the message ../octave: error while loading shared libraries: libfftw3.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. Typing in the statement $ ldd /usr/local/bin/octave gives three instances of libfftw3.so.3 => not found, along with lots of other successful links. I think there is an easy fix to this? Can someone give me a hand? libfftw3.so.3 is in /usr/local/lib its link target is /usr/local/lib/fftw3.so.3.2.1 TIA, -Bruce _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
