I'm trying to compile 2.0.2 for a linux 2.0.? box (ala red hat ).
I tried
./configure --enable-shared --enable-lite-kernel
which ran fine but
make CFLAGS=-O CXXFLAGS=-O LDFLAGS=
crashed with
f77 -c -fPIC -O vilerr.f -o pic/vilerr.o
vilerr.f:
   vilerr:
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/blair/ftp/octave-2.0.2/libcruft/villad'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `balgen/pic/balgen.o', needed by `stamp-shared'.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/blair/ftp/octave-2.0.2/libcruft'
make[1]: *** [libcruft] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/blair/ftp/octave-2.0.2'
make: *** [all] Error 2    

what's balgen.o? Any ideas why it crashed?
Thanx,
Art.
