Hi,
I just downloaded octave using hg. However on running autogen.sh, I get an
error:
gnulib/gnulib-tool: *** file /home/rc/octave/gnulib/lib/itold.c not found
gnulib/gnulib-tool: *** Stop.
Could you tell me what the problem is?
Thanks,
RC
Did you try this?
Building Octave from sources requires a number of programs and libraries. All of these are available as Debian packages and the list given on [Debian's source package page for Octave3.2] can be used for reference and installed by
# aptitude build-dep octave3.2
After this, it should be possible to follow the BuildFromSource instructions.
