Hi, The package octave2.1_2.1.64-3 FTBS on mips with a most strange error message. From the build log[1]:
============================================================================ [...] calling autoconf and autoheader... ./autogen.sh: line 15: /dev/null: Permission denied You must have autoconf installed to build Octave. Download the appropriate package for your distribution, or get the source tarball at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ make: *** [configure-stamp] Error 1 ****************************************************************************** Build finished at 20050127-1233 FAILED [dpkg-buildpackage died] [...] ============================================================================ These are the lines in autogen.sh that are causing the problem: (autoconf --version) < /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1 || { echo echo "You must have autoconf installed to build Octave." echo "Download the appropriate package for your distribution," echo "or get the source tarball at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/" exit 1 } The problem above does not happen in other architectures. Could someone with mips knowledge please explain to me what is going on? Thanks in advance.
