The snapshot builds and all tests pass on Kubuntu 10.04. A caveat to this
is that my system is a developer's system and has every library necessary
installed and easily found by configure.
I don't know if this is just my system, but the documentation had to be
re-built during the build. This shouldn't happen and it makes it harder on
systems where a complete Texinfo is not available.
In this case, the problem was that the file src/DOCSTRINGS embedded in the
tar.gz file differed by a single space from the DOCSTRINGS file created
during the local build. Make detected the difference and caused a full
rebuild of the documentation. The problem is line 10009 of src/DOCSTRINGS
where "codes " should just be "codes". I went back, with Mercurial, to
revision ss-3-5-91 and built a new tarball and the DOCSTRINGS file is
correct. The docstring for daspk_options comes from src/DASPK-opts.cc, but
this file is auto-generated from liboctave/DASPK-opts.in. The build chain
is pretty long at this point. It might be necessary to delete
src/*-opts.cc and have these files be re-generated before creating a tar
ball. The Make rules must be mostly right, however, because I can do
'touch ../liboctave/DASPK-opts.in; make' and everything gets rebuilt.
