mkoctfile question on OS X

[James A. Smith]

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!

James
