OK, call off the dogs. I upgraded to OS X 10.3.7, and configured with
FLIBS=-lg2c ./configure --enable-shared --enable-dl --disable-static
and the octave-2.1.64 build completed without errors. Now onward to
octave-forge.
Since the 10.3.7 update came out before the fink update to
octave-2.1.64 did, I don't know if that was a problem or not. However,
I have updated four OSX machines (all 10.3.7) to octave-2.1.64 without
a hitch using fink.
Octave-forge is another matter. For reasons not quite clear to me (nor
sufficient time to really look into the matter), libpng3 from the
stable branch gives the octave-forge compile serious indigestion. I had
to remove libpng3 (but not libpng3-shlibs) first, install octave-forge,
and then re-install libpng3. This is somewhat odd, for the Octave-forge
info does not show libpng3 as an explicit dependancy. But aside from
that oddity, Octave-forge goes well with fink and OSX.
I would add that I pick up qhull, octave-forge, octave, gnuplot, and
fftw3 from the unstable branch, which in the past always seemed/seems
to work better then what is currently on the stable branch. I have yet
to try and see if the unstable libpng3 branch will cure the
Octave-forge ills I have seen with the stable libpng3 branch. Other
that Octave-forge, the stable branch of libpng3 has behaved itself, so
I am not quite ready to add its unstable branch to the mix. Too many
unstable compounds might cause a nasty explosion.
