Re: Building Octave Statically (and without graphics)

[Raymond at SDSU]

My application is also a cluster, without graphics support on the nodes.  I'm
trying to build Octave from source on a cluster that I don't have root
access to and even the X11 include files aren't there.  Is there an easy way
to configure for a minimal build?
