Help compiling CVS 2.9.3

[Andy Adler]

I'm trying to get the CVS to compile with all the sparse matrix
features on a Xandros (debian) box. I'm having trouble with
cholmod and metis.

Here is my story, and where I got stuck.

First, I needed to patch ./configure.in
    address@hidden:~/octave$ cvs diff ./configure.in
    Index: configure.in
    ===================================================================
    RCS file: /cvs/octave/configure.in,v
    retrieving revision 1.491
    diff -r1.491 configure.in
    839c839
    <           AMD_LIBS $COLAMD_LIBS $CCOLAMD_LIBS $BLAS_LIBS $FLIBS -lmetis)],
    ---
    >           $AMD_LIBS $COLAMD_LIBS $CCOLAMD_LIBS $BLAS_LIBS $FLIBS 
-lmetis)],

Next, I did the following (from my .bash_history)
    # Get normal libs
    apt-get install libreadline5-dev
    apt-get install gperf flex bison dejagnu

    # Get ufsparse - not available for debian
    wget 
ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/development/i386/ufsparse-0.9-3.fc5.i386.rpm
    alien -i ufsparse-0.9-3.fc5.i386.rpm
    wget 
ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/development/i386/ufsparse-devel-0.9-3.fc5.i386.rpm
    alien -i ufsparse-devel-0.9-3.fc5.i386.rpm

    # Get metis
    cd ~
    wget http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~karypis/metis/metis/files/metis-4.0.tar.gz
    tar xfz metis-4.0.tar.gz
    cd metis-4.0
    vi Lib/rename.h  # NEED TO EDIT __log2 to __int_log2 TO AVOID CONFLICT
    make
    cp libmetis.a /usr/local/lib/
    cp */*.h /usr/local/include/metis/
    chmod a+r /usr/local/include/metis/* /usr/local/lib/libmetis.a
    vi /usr/local/include/metis/metis.h  # NEED TO EDIT "metis/" INTO 4 LAST 
INCLUDES

My trouble now is the following (from config.log):

    configure:14265: checking for cholmod_start in -lcholmod
    configure:14303: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c -lcholmod -lamd 
-lcolamd -lccolamd -lblas  -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.5 
-L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.5/../../.. -lz -lfrtbegin -lg2c-lm -lgcc_s 
-lmetis -lz -lm  >&5
    
/usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a(elf-init.oS)(.gnu.linkonce.t.__i686.get_pc_thunk.bx+0x0):
 In function `__i686.get_pc_thunk.bx':
    : multiple definition of `__i686.get_pc_thunk.bx'
    
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.5/../../../libcholmod.a(cholmod_common.o)(.gnu.linkonce.t.__i686.get_pc_thunk.bx+0x0):

Any ideas?
