I just tried to build octplot-aqua which failed to build.

Failed: phase compiling: octplot-aqua-0.4.0-6 failed Something appears to be wrong with generating the make files. I went to the build directory, and ran configure with the same parameters as the fink build: sudo ./configure --prefix=/sw --with-ft-prefix=/sw/lib/freetype219 -- disable-dependency-tracking Configure ran successfully but didn't generate any error messages. It terminated with the "first paragraph" above reporting the successful configuration up to the femtotex line. Then when I typed 'make' I got the same error that follows the config info about there being no targets. The root Makefile - and the next level down that I looked at too - is empty. I'm not all that urgently trying to use octplot. I really just wanted to see what it did. Having found the problem, though, I thought I would report it. Thanks, David
It's usually worth looking further back in the output to see any error messages. Did you see anything like the following?
configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating Makefile sed: file ./confstatgVt0kD/subs-1.sed line 32: unterminated `s' command config.status: creating src/Makefile sed: file ./confstatgVt0kD/subs-1.sed line 32: unterminated `s' command config.status: creating high_level/Makefile sed: file ./confstatgVt0kD/subs-1.sed line 32: unterminated `s' command config.status: creating tests/Makefile sed: file ./confstatgVt0kD/subs-1.sed line 32: unterminated `s' command config.status: creating fonts/Makefile sed: file ./confstatgVt0kD/subs-1.sed line 32: unterminated `s' command config.status: creating demos/Makefile sed: file ./confstatgVt0kD/subs-1.sed line 32: unterminated `s' command config.status: creating src/octplot_enable.m sed: file ./confstatgVt0kD/subs-1.sed line 32: unterminated `s' command config.status: creating config.h config.status: executing depfiles commands And if so, do you have fink's sed installed?
