Re: mkoctfile question on OS X

This is a problem with fink. It has to my knowledge been fixed in CVS, but the changes might not have made it to the point release you are using.
Update package descriptions from CVS (see fink docs/FAQ)
or
add a missing symlink
/sw/lib/libdfftw.dylib -> libdfftw.2.0.5.dylib
Create a link with: sudo ln -s /sw/lib/libdfftw.2.0.5.dylib /sw/lib/libdfftw.dylib

Caveat: I don't know if this will mess up fink, it might.

HTH,

Hi, folks,

I installed Octave on a fresh copy of OS X Panther and am trying to
configure octave-forge.  Unfortunately, I'm having issues during
configuration, like this:

maxilla2:~/Desktop/Downloads/octave-forge-2003.06.02 jasmith$ ./configure
creating cache ./config.cache
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... yes
checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) is a cross-compiler... no
checking whether we are using GNU C... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for mkoctfile... mkoctfile
ld: can't locate file for: -ldfftw
configure: error: Could not run mkoctfile

What is a mkoctfile? (/sw/bin/mkoctfile)
mkoctfile -- create a .oct file suitable for dynamic linking by Octave

So, I'm not sure what file it can't find.  My PATH looks like
"/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/jasmith:/usr/X11R6/bin:/sw/bin:/ sw/sbin"

Is there some directory that I'm missing?

Thanks!

James
