Re: Problem building from 13027:b9a89ca0fb75

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello

This is not also answer.

As far as I remember, the license of the METIS is not compatible to that of 
octave so that octave binary with SuiteSparse linked with the METIS cannot be 
distributed. 

http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/Metis-td1647536.html

So we have to build the SuiteSparse (chlmod) built with -DNPARTITION flag for 
the binary distribution.
(For self build, the METIS can be used.)

Regards

Tatsuro
