Re: Installation/compilation error

[SAMRAT RAO]

Hi,
   By mistake i had taken this conversation offline. So this is a repeat post in some sense.
   Using the suggestion i was able to compile octave-3.0.3 (the
size of the octave-3.0.3 directory is 1Gb). But 'make check'
immediately gives the error:

address@hidden:/media/work/

softwares/octave/octave-3.0.3> make check
make -f octMakefile check
make[1]: Entering directory `/media/work/softwares/octave/octave-3.0.3'
make -C test check
make[2]: Entering directory `/media/work/softwares/octave/octave-3.0.3/test'
./build_sparse_tests.sh
../run-octave --norc --silent --no-history ./fntests.m .

Integrated test scripts:

  src/DLD-FUNCTIONS/bsxfun.cc ............................panic: Illegal instruction -- stopping myself...
make[2]: *** [check] Illegal instruction
make[2]: Leaving directory `/media/work/softwares/octave/octave-3.0.3/test'
make[1]: *** [check] Error 2

make[1]: Leaving directory `/media/work/softwares/octave/octave-3.0.3'

make: *** [check] Error 2

What should be my next step?

Samrat.

You need to set HDF5-1.6 compatibility by defining CPPFLAGS="-DH5_USE_16_API"
e.g.:

./configure CPPFLAGS="-DH5_USE_16_API"
