Hello maintainer of wiki.octave.org/wiki.pl?OctaveForMac
I found the description in wiki.octave.org/wiki.pl?OctaveForMac.
+F) Download and install a source-release of the "suitesparse" library. There
is no
suitesparse-library included in MacOSX. The source-version of the latest
release can be downloaded
from Internet at http://www.cise.ufl.edu/research/sparse/SuiteSparse. Edit file
UFconfig/UFconfig.mk
and replace (in about line 76) "-lgoto" with "-lblas". The metis source package
is also needed to
build the "suitesparse" library, it can be downloaded from internet at
http://glaros.dtc.umn.edu/gkhome/views/metis. Unpack, configure, compile and
install this program the
following way
tar -xzf SuiteSparse.tar.gz
cd SuiteSparse
mv metis-X.x.tar.gz . # mv into suitesparse directory
tar -xzf metis-X.x.tar.gz
make && make cx
export LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -lmetis"
In my understanding, the Metis license is not compatible with the GPLv3 so that
link with metis is not
allowed. Is not it write? Is it permmitted for user to build from source.
Anyway I think that at least the Metis license problem shoul be mentioned.
I recommend to change the descrption for suitesparse libraries without Metis.
To do this,
CHOLMOD_CONFIG = -DNPARTITION
in "UFconfig.mk" in the UFconfig directry.
This allows suitesparse libraries without Metis.

Tatsuro
