Things to try:
1) Build with one of these configure options:
--without-OSMesa don't use OSMesa library
[Drawback: plotting may not work for qt or fltk if no replacement for
OSMesa is available]
--without-opengl don't use OpenGL libraries, disable OpenGL
graphics
[Drawback: it might be that neither qt or fltk plotting will be built in
which case gnuplot will be used]
--disable-docs don't build documentation files
[Drawback: although the build will complete and you might consequently
get a full installation, that installation won't include the help docs
of "help plot", etc.]
2) There may also be a way to specify using the gnuplot toolkit to build
documentation and still have qt and fltk toolkits.
3) Instead of trying to run a system-wide install, try running from the
build environment. Sometimes that works because all of the items reside
in that build environment prior to the "make install". I.e., just do
"make", not "make install".
To run from the environment, try something like
/home/youraccount/octave/octave/build/run-octave --no-gui

Hello maintainers,
I am working on some missing image functionality, but I'm having trouble
getting octave to build completely. It builds enough to run and for me
to start editing core code, but I can't build the image package because
of an issue with mkoctfile:
error: mkoctfile: unable to find the mkoctfile command, Octave
installation is incomplete
Whenever I make octave, I get an error with the following message:
GEN doc/interpreter/voronoi.eps
error: __osmesa_print__: Depth and stencil doesn't match, are you sure
you are using OSMesa >= 9.0?
error: called from
__opengl_print__ at line 172 column 7
print at line 431 column 14
geometryimages at line 55 column 5
make[2]: *** [doc/interpreter/voronoi.eps] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/eric/octave_dev/octave'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/eric/octave_dev/octave'
make: *** [all] Error 2
I know this is a known issue, and I've tried the suggestions at
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?44249 but so far have had no luck. If
anyone is willing to help me out getting octave to build completely, I'd
really appreciate it.
Thanks a lot!
Eric
