Fwd: [bug #35739] discontinuous derivative from spline w/ 3 points and endpoint derivative

[Jordi Gutiérrez Hermoso]

Hi folks. I'm trying to figure out why Marco can't build from hg
sources. He reports the problem below.

TIA,
- Jordi G. H.

Dear Jordi,

I'm stucked here

# Build and test your local copy of the source tree.
cd octave
sh ./autogen.sh

[...]

build-aux/bootstrap: libtoolize -c -f ...
Remember to add `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL' to `configure.ac'.
You should add the contents of `/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4' to `aclocal.m4'.
Putting files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, `build-aux'.
build-aux/bootstrap: aclocal --force -I 'm4'  ...
configure.ac:73: error: AC_REQUIRE: circular dependency of AC_GNU_SOURCE
m4/extensions.m4:19: AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS is expanded from...
../../lib/autoconf/specific.m4:310: AC_GNU_SOURCE is expanded from...

configure.ac:73: the top level

My system is quite old (Linux Mint 4, 2008), could it be a problem?

Thanks,

Marco
