Re: Octave installation problem

[J. Vervoorst]

Gentlemen,
I tried to install Octave again in the last few days. When running configure
like Alexander has recommended below, I get no errors, but unfortunately I
get messages telling me that Octave can't find a number of libraries even
though they are installed.
Of course I could install Octave now, but it bugs me to no end that I have
all these things installed and they are not found. Isn't there a way to
explicitly tell Octave where the libraries are. I tried "with-umfpack",
"with-cholmod" and the like, with no luck!
What else can be done to make this workout? I really appreciate your help
and insight! Have a good New Year's! Jan

Here's the final part of the configure message:
