In Ubuntu 15.10 as always  builds just fine and runs with proprietary drivers
Bur checks fails

libinterp/dldfcn/__osmesa_print__.cc-tst ....................panic:
Segmentation fault -- stopping myself...
octave exited with signal 11

It is not solved with

export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so

that worked before, but I am reading the threads to see if there is
any solution. also if I preload that any plot in the gui crashes
octave.
