Smith" To: "help-octave at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu" Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2003 14:37:18 -0500 (EST) Hi, folks, I installed Octave on a fresh copy of OS X Panther and am trying to configure octave-forge. Unfortunately, I'm having issues during configuration, like this: maxilla2:~/Desktop/Downloads/octave-forge-2003.06.02 jasmith$ ./configure creating cache ./config.cache checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... yes checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) is a cross-compiler... no checking whether we are using GNU C... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for mkoctfile... mkoctfile ld: can't locate file for: -ldfftw configure: error: Could not run mkoctfile What is a mkoctfile? (/sw/bin/mkoctfile) mkoctfile -- create a .oct file suitable for dynamic linking by Octave So, I'm not sure what file it can't find. My PATH looks like "/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/jasmith:/usr/X11R6/bin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin" Is there some directory that I'm missing? Thanks!
