That being said, I just put out Octave-3.8.2-9, which uses both Debian patches and runs “autoreconf -fi” after patching but before running the configure script. It builds for me, but since I don’t normally trigger the error, I’m not really in a position to test this properly. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list Fink-users@lists.sourceforge.net List archive: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.macosx.fink.user Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
