Re: report file

[Paul Kienzle]

For recent versions of octave (e.g., 2.1.71), it should default to 
enable shared.  You can force it as follows:

        ./configure --enable-shared --disable-static

Before doing a rebuild, though, you can check how it is configured by 
running octave and typing:

        octave_config_info

In particular, the following should return 1 if you have shared 
functions available:

        octave_config_info('dld')
