Re: Error when executing "make" on Ubuntu Linux

[Michael Pender]

If I am interpreting the error messages correctly, the Octave build completed, but the script is failing when it tries to compute how to render a certain graphic in postscript mode ('eps').  If you try starting Octave in the command line interface mode instead of the GUI, then does it start up?

Hello there!

I'm keen to try to help in Octave development and I downloaded Octave a few days ago from the mercurial repository (so the development version.)
I followed the instructions on the HACKING document, and made sure I have all prerequisites (according to the Octave manual) including the optional ones. I installed all prerequisited apart from HDF5 (as there were several versions and I did not know which one to use.)

This is on Ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS x86_64

These are the commands I executed:

./bootstrap
mkdir .build
cd .build
../configure
make

I am getting an error when executing make.

I am putting here the output from the configure script and from "make."

configure script output: http://pastebin.com/czGqCCEA

output from make: http://pastebin.com/2gLRNxDL
(first time I executed make, it outputs a lot of stuff, too much for pastebin to handle, so I executed it again and the second time it doesn't spit out as much stuff but still spits out the error, that is what I pasted in the link above)

I'll be grateful for any help about this issue.

Cheers!
Igal Franko
