When I configured octave-2.9.7 I got;
configure: WARNING: I didn't find gperf, but it's only a problem if you need
to reconstruct oct-gperf.h
configure: WARNING: I didn't find flex, but it's only a problem if you need
to reconstruct lex.cc
configure: WARNING: I didn't find bison, but it's only a problem if you need

configure: WARNING: UMFPACK not found. This will result in some lack of
functionality for sparse matrices.
configure: WARNING: COLAMD not found. This will result in some lack of

configure: WARNING: CCOLAMD not found. This will result in some lack of

configure: WARNING: CHOLMOD not found. This will result in some lack of

configure: WARNING: CXSparse not found. This will result in some lack of

configure: WARNING: HDF5 library not found. Octave will not be able to save
or load HDF5 data files.
I am guessing that I need UMFPACK and the other sparse matrix related
material in order to get this working? Can you tell me how to incorporate
this or how you got dmperm working?
