Re: make error: dir-ops.cc:61: error: ‘ strerror ’ is not a member of ‘ gnulib ’

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello

You have execute authogen.sh.  In autogen.sh, it will make a clone from gnulib 
stite.
You also need the git for cloning the gnulib repository.

BTW,today a new snapshot, octave-3.3.53 is uploaded.

http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/Octave-3-3-53-snapshot-available-for-ftp-td3001699.html#a3001699

Download site
ftp://ftp.octave.org/pub/octave/bleeding-edge

This is the latest snapshot so that it is almost the same as that on the 
mercurial archive.

Regards

Tatsuro
