Re: installing octave-forge on Mac OS X 10.3

[Paul Kienzle]

The simple answer is that you need to modify
src/random/cl_random_from.cc replacing
        defined(__BEOS__)
with
        defined(__BEOS__) || defined(__MACH__)
in the two places where it occurs.

The build is proceeding smoothly after this change.

The better answer is to drop the first #if containing
__BEOS__ entirely, and replace the second with one
which checks for HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY,
HAVE_FTIME, or HAVE_TIMES_CLOCK.
