Re: Build problems

[Keith Grider]

John,

On a whim, I copied those 2 files from the gzipped archive I was able to compile and now it compiles and installs correctly. I copied: oct-parse.cc and oct-parse.h and I am now current with the mercurial (plotyy no longer gives me the ans=1 issue any more). I am guessing that I will have to do this again if I want to compile this, though. My install is pretty vanilla Ubuntu 10.10 23bit.

John,

I appreciate the help! Actually, I do not know. I am pretty much a 'recipe' guy. I think I followed the recipe but it does not work for me. It seems to work fine with the tar ball, but not with the mercurial update. If I were to guess, it may be a permissions thing or a directory thing. I have put this in /usr/local/src/octave and I have tried running it as me and as root. I did not get any difference.

If you had bison installed, then why did it fail to correctly generate
the files?  I don't know how or why it would generate an empty file
for oct-parse.h and a simple program that does nothing for
oct-parse.cc.  How can that happen?
