on the glpk patch for octave

[M. White]

Hi,

I've been reading the discussions of the glpk patch for octave in  
trying to get the darwinports/macports version of octave working on  
my machine, and I don't think the current patch in the octave CVS  
directory will work for glpk 4.14, as it designates the macro  
definition GLPK_PRE_4_15 rather than GLPK_PRE_4_14.  So, if one has  
glpk 4.14, it looks as if the patch will treat it the same as the  
earlier versions (unless the macro is mis-named), and it will not  
work (because I had to look at __glpk__.cc in the CVS directory to  
figure out how to hack my copy so that I could get macports to build  
octave 2.9.9 with glpk 4.14 support).  The fix should be simple  
enough to change the macro to be pre 4.14 and not 4.15.  Anyway,  
since keeping some level of backwards compatibility seems like it is  
important to the developers, I'd thought  I'd comment about the  
potential problem I see in the patch in the CVS directory.

Regards,
