One more remark: I first compiled "octave" without having DejaGnu installed, and couldn't run the "make check". Installing "DejaGnu" only did not allow me either to run it. Re-running "configure" just introduced errors. I had to recompile from scratch octave (with this time "DejaGnu" installed when making (the first and only) "configure". This should be written into the "INSTALL" file... i.e: Install "DejaGnu" before compiling oif you wish to use "make check". Repeat-By: --------- ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ --enable-dl --enable-shared \ --enable-lite-kerne make make check Fix: --- [I didn't test this] 1) For the problem of not being able to run "make check" before install: In "make check", include something like a "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=..." 2) For the tests in "system" (gid,...) Specify that those tests may not be run by root 3) For the test in "poly/poly-2.m" Is it my system that is deficient ?? 4) For the problem of installing "DejaGnu" before running "configure" Just write it into the doc Configuration (please do not edit this section): ----------------------------------------------- uname output: Linux kid2 2.0.30 #6 Tue Sep 9 11:10:53 JST 1997 i586 unknown configure opts: --prefix=/usr/local --enable-dl --enable-shared --enable-lite-kernel Fortran compiler: FFLAGS: F2C: f2c F2CFLAGS: FLIBS: -lf2c CPPFLAGS: INCFLAGS: -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include/octave-2.0.9 C compiler: gcc, version 2.7.2.2.f.2 CFLAGS: -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -g -O2 -Wall CPICFLAG: -fPIC C++ compiler: c++, version 2.7.2.2.f.2 CXXFLAGS: -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -fno-implicit-templates -g -O2 -Wall CXXPICFLAG: -fPIC LDFLAGS: -g LIBFLAGS: -L/usr/local/lib RLD_FLAG: -Xlinker -rpath -Xlinker /usr/local/lib CXXLIBS: -lstdc++ -lm -L/home/vincent/lib -L. -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-unknown-linuxlibc1/2.7.2.2.f.2 -lstdc++ -lm -lgcc -lc -lgcc TERMLIBS: -ltermcap LIBS: LEXLIB: LIBPLPLOT: LIBDLFCN: DEFS: -DOCTAVE_SOURCE=1 -DSEPCHAR=':' -DSEPCHAR_STR=":" -DUSE_GNU_INFO=1 -DUSE_READLINE=1 -DF77_APPEND_UNDERSCORE=1 -DOCTAVE_LITE=1 -DSIZEOF_SHORT=2 -DSIZEOF_INT=4 -DSIZEOF_LONG=4 -DHAVE_ALLOCA_H=1 -DHAVE_ALLOCA=1 -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_DIRENT_H=1 -DTIME_WITH_SYS_TIME=1 -DHAVE_SYS_WAIT_H=1 -DHAVE_ASSERT_H=1 -DHAVE_FCNTL_H=1 -DHAVE_FLOAT_H=1 -DHAVE_GRP_H=1 -DHAVE_LIMITS_H=1 -DHAVE_MEMORY_H=1 -DHAVE_NAN_H=1 -DHAVE_PWD_H=1 -DHAVE_STDLIB_H=1 -DHAVE_STRING_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_PARAM_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_RESOURCE_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_STAT_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_TIME_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_TIMES_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_TYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_UTSNAME_H=1 -DHAVE_TERMCAP_H=1 -DHAVE_TERMIO_H=1 -DHAVE_TERMIOS_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DHAVE_VARARGS_H=1 -DHAVE_ATEXIT=1 -DHAVE_BCOPY=1 -DHAVE_BZERO=1 -DHAVE_DUP2=1 -DHAVE_ENDGRENT=1 -DHAVE_ENDPWENT=1 -DHAVE_EXECVP=1 -DHAVE_FCNTL=1 -DHAVE_FORK=1 -DHAVE_GETCWD=1 -DHAVE_GETEGID=1 -DHAVE_GETEUID=1 -DHAVE_GETGID=1 -DHAVE_GETGRENT=1 -DHAVE_GETGRGID=1 -DHAVE_GETGRNAM=1 -DHAVE_GETHOSTNAME=1 -DHAVE_GETPGRP=1 -DHAVE_GETPID=1 -DHAVE_GETPPID=1 -DHAVE_GETPWENT=1 -DHAVE_GETPWNAM=1 -DHAVE_GETPWUID=1 -DHAVE_GETUID=1 -DHAVE_GETWD=1 -DHAVE_LSTAT=1 -DHAVE_MEMMOVE=1 -DHAVE_MKDIR=1 -DHAVE_MKFIFO=1 -DHAVE_ON_EXIT=1 -DHAVE_PIPE=1 -DHAVE_PUTENV=1 -DHAVE_RENAME=1 -DHAVE_RINDEX=1 -DHAVE_RMDIR=1 -DHAVE_SETGRENT=1 -DHAVE_SETPWENT=1 -DHAVE_SETVBUF=1 -DHAVE_SIGACTION=1 -DHAVE_SIGPENDING=1 -DHAVE_SIGPROCMASK=1 -DHAVE_SIGSUSPEND=1 -DHAVE_STAT=1 -DHAVE_STRCASECMP=1 -DHAVE_STRDUP=1 -DHAVE_STRERROR=1 -DHAVE_STRNCASECMP=1 -DHAVE_TEMPNAM=1 -DHAVE_UMASK=1 -DHAVE_UNLINK=1 -DHAVE_USLEEP=1 -DHAVE_VFPRINTF=1 -DHAVE_VSPRINTF=1 -DHAVE_WAITPID=1 -DHAVE_PROGRAM_INVOCATION_NAME=1 -DHAVE_LIBDL=1 -DHAVE_DLOPEN=1 -DHAVE_DLSYM=1 -DHAVE_DLERROR=1 -DHAVE_DLCLOSE=1 -DWITH_DL=1 -DWITH_DYNAMIC_LINKING=1 -DHAVE_LIBM=1 -DHAVE_FINITE=1 -DHAVE_ISNAN=1 -DHAVE_ISINF=1 -DHAVE_ACOSH=1 -DHAVE_ASINH=1 -DHAVE_ATANH=1 -DHAVE_ERF=1 -DHAVE_ERFC=1 -DHAVE_ST_BLKSIZE=1 -DHAVE_ST_BLOCKS=1 -DHAVE_ST_RDEV=1 -DHAVE_TZNAME=1 -DHAVE_GR_PASSWD=1 -DRETSIGTYPE=void -DSYS_SIGLIST_DECLARED=1 -DHAVE_SYS_SIGLIST=1 -DHAVE_POSIX_SIGNALS=1 -DHAVE_GETRUSAGE=1 -DHAVE_TIMES=1 User-preferences (please do not edit this section): -------------------------------------------------- EDITOR = "/usr/bin/joe" IMAGEPATH = ".:/usr/local/share/octave/2.0.9/imagelib//" INFO_FILE = "/usr/local/info/octave.info" LOADPATH = ".:~/doctor/octave:~/doctor/octave/functions:/usr/local/libexec/octave/site/oct/i586-pc-linux-gnu//:/usr/local/share/octave/site/m//:/usr/local/libexec/octave/2.0.9/oct/i586-pc-linux-gnu//:/usr/local/share/octave/2.0.9/m//" OCTAVE_VERSION = "2.0.9" PAGER = "less" PS1 = "\\s:\\#> " PS2 = "> " automatic_replot = 0 whitespace_in_literal_matrix = "" default_save_format = "ascii" do_fortran_indexing = 0 empty_list_elements_ok = "warn" eps = 2.22045e-16 gnuplot_binary = "/usr/bin/gnuplot -name Gnuplot[octave]" ignore_function_time_stamp = "system" implicit_str_to_num_ok = 0 ok_to_lose_imaginary_part = "warn" output_max_field_width = 10 output_precision = 5 page_screen_output = 1 prefer_column_vectors = 1 prefer_zero_one_indexing = 0 print_answer_id_name = 1 print_empty_dimensions = 1 propagate_empty_matrices = 1 resize_on_range_error = 1 return_last_computed_value = 0 save_precision = 15 silent_functions = 0 split_long_rows = 1 treat_neg_dim_as_zero = 0 warn_assign_as_truth_value = 1 warn_comma_in_global_decl = 1 warn_divide_by_zero = 1
