No, changing anything in /usr/lib is always a bad idea. I insist: If you are still getting the error grep: /usr/lib/libiconv.la: No such file or directory then there *must* be a *.la file somewhere on your linker search path that has /usr/lib/libiconv.la in its dependency_libs field. Maybe in your octave build directory. Unfortunately this *.la stuff is contagious, so it might be possible that an earlier attempt to build octave - while libfontconfig.la was still pointing to a contaminated .la file - left you with an infected *.la file in the octave build tree. BTW, I don't quite see a scenario that allows you to still have - as you do - /sw/lib/gcc4.4/lib/libgfortran.la and /sw/lib/fontconfig2/lib/libfontconfig.la, but not /sw/lib/fontconfig2/lib/libfontconfig.fink.la. The latter is created each time you rebuild or reinstall fontconfig2-dev. At what point did you remove all *.la files under /sw/lib? -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
