I had the same problem building from the CVS archive, issuing 'make lex.cc'
separately appeared to succeed, but on further investigation I noticed a
rather obscure warning relating to gperf, which wasn't installed. I
installed gperf and all was well...... almost.

I still cannot get the 'info' files to build correctly, it seems
'octave.texi' in the doc/interpreter subdir doesn't exist..... even after a
'cvs update'. Any ideas on how to overcome this would be greatly
appreciated.

Regards,

Shaun
