Re: Latest build problems with octave and OS X

[Marius Schamschula]

Joe,

This my configure command for octave 2.1.64 (non ATLAS version):

FLIBS='-L/usr/local/lib/ -lg2c' LIBS='-lsz' CPPFLAGS=-no-cpp-precomp  
./configure \
 --enable-dl --enable-shared --with-hdf5 --with-fftw

Note: You may not have fftw or hdf5 (which requires szip).

See <http://www.hmug.org/pub/MacOS_X/BSD/Applications/Science/octave/>  
for more details.
