Thanks,

I've ditched METIS, and I've followed the script in your ufsparse.spec
file to install UFSparse into /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include/ufsparse

I've needed to make the following patches to octave
address@hidden:~/octave$ cvs diff
  Index: configure.in
  ===================================================================
  RCS file: /cvs/octave/configure.in,v
  retrieving revision 1.491

  > #if defined (HAVE_UFSPARSE_UMFPACK_H)

Now, I'm seeing this error during linking.

  address@hidden:~/octave/liboctave$ make liboctave.so

  pic/CSparse.o(.bss+0x0):/home/andy/octave/liboctave/CSparse.cc:106: multiple 
definition of `ccolamd_printf'
  pic/sparse-base-chol.o(.bss+0x0):/home/andy/octave/liboctave/str-vec.h:37:

  ...


Any more ideas?
