I suddenly encounter problems building octave. With an empty .build-dir and
./bootstrap
cd .build
../configure
make
I get the error
Making all in interpreter
make[3]: Entering directory
`/home/ttl/software/octave/.build/doc/interpreter'
../../run-octave -f -q -H -p ../../../doc/interpreter --eval
"geometryimages ('convhull', 'eps');"
qhull input error: not enough points (0) to construct initial simplex
(need 3)
While executing: | qhull Qt
Options selected for Qhull 2009.1 2009/06/14:
Qtriangulate _pre-merge _zero-centrum
error: convhulln: qhull failed
error: called from:
error: /home/ttl/software/octave/.build/../scripts/geometry/convhull.m
at line 59, column 7
error: /home/ttl/software/octave/doc/interpreter/geometryimages.m at
line 73, column 7
make[3]: *** [convhull.eps] Error 1
The points missing for qhull are generated in geometryimages.m by
x = -3:0.05:3;
y = abs (sin (x));
x and y turn out to be empty because the "." in "0.05" is interpreted as
",".
This also occurs when I start octave with
./run-octave --no-gui
and enter a float
octave-gui:1> 0:0.1:1 # the prompt really says octave-gui here
ans = [](1x0)
octave-gui:2> 0.3
ans = 0
The effect does not occur in the real gui version.
Changing LC_NUMERIC from de_DE.UTF-8 to en_US.UTF-8 solves the problem
and I can finish the build.
Is anyone else running into this?
