Re: make check failure for octave 2.9.6 under Mac OS X 10.4

[Marius Schamschula]

John,

Thanks for the heads up on cvs for octave-forge. The build was a lot cleaner. 

The only warnings I get (however, a lot of these) are like:

gsl_sf.cc:7724: warning: 'print_usage' is deprecated (declared at /usr/local/test/include/octave-2.9.6/octave/defun-int.h:38)

When I launch octave 2.9.6 with octave-forge installed I get

error: couldn't link module /usr/local/test/libexec/octave/2.9.6/site/oct/powerpc-apple-darwin8.6.0/octave-forge/symbols.oct

error: evaluating argument list element number 2

BTW: I had to add -lmetis to build octave. The configure script does not check for metis, even though it is needed for CHOLMOD.

If you want to use Octave Forge with Octave 2.9.x, then I'd recommend using

the latest CVS sources of Octave Forge.
