Hi,

I've installed a binary version of octave 2.1.53 (installation couldn't 
be more easy BTW) from hpc on a Mac OS X 10.3.2.
Trying to install octave-forge-2003.06.02 (following the INSTALL.MacOSX 
instructions) I ran into problems when doing ./ configure
> configure: WARNING: no mkoctfile found on path
> ./configure: line 2263: conftest.cc: command not found
> configure: error: Could not run

Could it be that there are some problems, because my last octave 
version 2.1.50 was installed under /usr/local/bin whereas the new one 
is found under /usr/local so that the mkoctfile is searched for in a 
wrong directory: I found mkoctfile and mkoctfile-2.1.53 under 
/usr/local/octave/bin/.
But to be honest: I have no clue. Any hints are greatly appreciated.

Best,
Nathan
