can't build development sources

[Rob Mahurin]

Hi,

I'm trying to build the development sources on Mac OS X 10.4.11 and  
getting linking errors.  I can build the 3.0.3 tarball but not the  
3.1.52 snapshot (nor any recent place along the development tree).

My 3.1.52 build fails with
> ld: Undefined symbols:
> _METIS_NodeComputeSeparator
> _METIS_NodeND
> /usr/libexec/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/libtool: internal link  
> edit command failed
> make[2]: *** [liboctave.dylib] Error 1
> make[1]: *** [liboctave] Error 2
> make: *** [all] Error 2


I'm just compiling with "./configure && make".  My ./configure output  
includes
> configure: WARNING: A BLAS library was detected but found  
> incompatible with your Fortran 77 compiler.  The reference BLAS  
> implementation will be used. To improve performance, consider using  
> a different Fortran compiler or a switch like -ff2c to make your

If I try FFLAGS=-ff2c ./configure, this warning goes away but I get  
the same linking error.

What am I missing?  Thanks for any help.
