Thanks for the suggestions. OK, so far I have tried

LIBS=-lf2c ./configure

And it goes through all of the g++ compilations before it fails, but I
suspect that it is compiling a statically linked version, which I don't
want. The libf2c.a is in /usr/local/lib because I have f2c installed on my
machine. It wouldn't exist on a "normal" Mac.

I have also tried (with various make file errors occurring later):

LIBS=-lg2c ./configure

LIBS=-lg2c ./configure --enable-shared --enable-dl --disable-static

LIBS=-lg2c ./configure --enable-shared --disable-static

LIBS=-lf2c ./configure --enable-shared --disable-static

etc.

Anybody have the proper etiquette for the ./configure arguments for an
octave build on a Mac?

The configure phase always finishes with a complaint that says DejaGNU isn't
there, so I won't be able to run "make check," but the initial make is where
the build fails.
