I'm having some trouble building octave from the bleed-edge sources. The resulting "bus error" leaves gdb essentially useless (it is unable to determine where the crash occurs).

In any event, it occurred to me that I may be having problems with the tool chain. I'm building on Leopard and am using a slightly modified octave.info.

Regarding the installed packages below ...

$ fink list ctools
Information about 6519 packages read in 0 seconds.
i cctools 667-1 [virtual package representing the developer tools] *i* cctools-extra 1:590.18-1002 Extra software from cctools i cctools-single-module 667-1 [virtual package, your dev tools support -single_module] *i* odcctools590 20060608-1 Darwin cctools build system/code base to support g95

What does "*i*" mean? ... and might it be a problem?

Thanks
Ben
