It seems that octave-forge is reading from its own incomplete installed
version. Maybe you want to remove octave-forge first before rebuilding it?
OK...I removed octave-forge, then issued a rebuild command.
It rebuilt without those errors in the configure stage.
Then, since rebuild doesn't install, I clicked the "binary
install" button in FinkCommander and got:
Failed to fetch
file:/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc//sci/octave-forge_2005.06.13-2_darwin-powerpc.deb
Size mismatch
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update
or try with --fix-missing?
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1
not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/25.9MB of archives. After unpacking 136MB
will be used.
Running scanpackages didn't change anything, but maybe that
wasn't the right thing to try here??? So, I selected the
"install from source" button and it installed without
complaint, but is still short on some of its files, same
output from du -k as before.
I was a bit doubtful whether this would help, because on a
more careful look, those errors seem to be just octave
itself complaining about whatever is wrong, and the
octave-forge build still gets the info it needs (like the
version of octave).
I have now set octave itself rebuilding. There are no
errors in the configure stage, only one warning:
configure: WARNING: I didn't find runtest -- install DejaGNU
if you want to run `make check'
but it will take a while to complete...
