wierd compile on Debian 2.2r4

[david_punsalan]

While running 'make' when installing octave-2.1.35 on my 
debian 2.2r4 box, I would repeatedly recieve some 
compilation error and 'make' would exit.  And everytime 
it exited, I would just type 'make' again and the 
compilation would then run smoothly until it hit 
another 'hiccup.' So I just kept typing make and it 
eventually compiled everything. And then 'make install' 
went smoothly and it eventually all worked out.

Overall - I'm pleased that it eventually compiled and 
installed okay.  But I just thought this was kind of 
wierd.  Has anyone else had this problem?  Is this 
common when compiling from source?  Can I expect 
problems down the road when using octave seeing how the 
compilation didn't go so smoothly?

Regards,
David
