Most of these are coming from the lack of DISPLAY. Shouldn't they
be skipped instead?
The test suite finds that you have FLTK and proceeds to try and
switch the graphic toolkit over to FLTK which then fails because
no DISPLAY is set.
I'll just mention that this will be a pain for packagers. Without
jumping through a lot of hoops, there is no X environment on the
Fedora builders.
More generally than for packaging, Octave should fall back to gnuplot
if there is no X server. Should this patch go on the stable branch? I
can prepare it.
Octave is already falling back to gnuplot so that behavior is okay. The
problem is that the %!test is trying to switch the graphics toolkit to FLTK
and doesn't check if an error has occurred while doing so.
