originate with the core Octave m-script to tex-file translator.]

Hi All,
I'm attempting to build a statically linked version of octave 3.4 on
Ubuntu 10.10 so I can move it to a network of redhat 5 machines. Just
after it builds munge-texi, I get the following complaint from running
it. Can anyone give me some advice?

The file in question is this one:
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/file/41d183070c04/doc/interpreter/arith.txi
I used the "raw" link to download the file and compiled the tex file as
follows:
address@hidden junk]$ tex arith.txi
This is TeX, Version 3.141592 (Web2C 7.5.6)
(./arith.txi
Overfull \hbox (11.37076pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 121--127

It turns out this file has three function names with underscores in
them. The underscore is a special character and is the source of the
error. I replaced all the "_" with "\_" and the tex file compiles.
The question is why this fails. Is DOCSTRING defined correctly? Are
the underscore function names something that was recently added? Should
the translator be adding a character before underscores? I'll defer to
the Octave maintainers list for those answers.
You said that you configure your compilation with:

I am working again on building octave 3.4 with static libraries. I did a
./configure --enable-static --disable-shared --disable-dh
and when I make I get
on the Makefile in src/
an error for line 9457 about a Missing Separator.
I had to go to that line and replace the five spaces with a tab. I got
the hint from this page:
http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/faq22_17.html
The Makefile was made with the automake tools, and somehow they messed
up on this. I'm not really familiar with them or I'd make a suggestion
on fixing it better.
