Failed to build octave-6.4.0 and octave's configuration.

[Pei Jia]

Hi, all:

1. I tried to build octave-6.4.0 with the newest sundials-6.1.0, but failed with the following ERROR messages. It looks Octave is NOT compatible with the newest sundials yet?

2. When I configure octave, I always get the following warnings:

configure: WARNING: Qhull library found, but does not seem to work properly.  This will result in loss of functionality for some geometry functions.  Please try recompiling the library with -fno-strict-aliasing.
configure: WARNING: SUNDIALS IDA library not configured with SUNLINSOL_KLU or sunlinksol_klu.h is not usable.  The solvers ode15i and ode15s will not support the sparse Jacobian feature.
configure:
configure: NOTE: Libraries or auxiliary programs may be skipped if they are not found
configure: NOTE: OR if they are missing required features on your system.

Any suggestions? Thank you ...
