Two issues arose trying to build plplot with octave 3.6.0:
- octave needs to be passed "--no-window-system" if DISPLAY is not set, which
I need to due when building the fedora package. The attached patch allows me
to set the $otaveopts variable to do this.
- split has now be removed from octave in favor of strsplit:
6: error: `split' undefined near line 3 column 5
I believe this has been raised before but was decided to stay with split at
the time for octave 3.0 support. Octave 3.0 is still in EPEL 5, though no
idea who is using that, and in our case we won't be building a newer plplot in
EPEL 5 anyway.
