Hi,

I tried building octave-2.1.43 on a RedHat 7.2 system with the following configure options:

CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc-3.2.1 CXX=/usr/local/bin/g++-3.2.1 F77=/usr/local/bin/g77-3.2.1 \
    ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-dl \
    --with-fftw

The build failed when attempting to link the liboctave shared library because there was no SHARED
directory in kpathsea, and obviously no object files there. I noticed in the changelog that 
acklibtool.m4 had been modified so I autoconfed in that directory, re-configured in the top directory
and the build succeeded. Thanks for an excellent piece of software. BTW, If you are interested in
someone to provide RPMs I am willing.

Regards,

Shan Smith
