Unfortunately this has also failed with the same error. Is my best bet 
to get an older version of SuiteSparse? If so what is the version Octave 
3.6.2 worked with?

This could be down to some other error I've made installing the 
SuiteSparse package, but configure does not complain about not being 
able to find anything. Maybe I'll just build without umfpack for now. I 
would prefer to get it working though.

Should this still be on the maintainers list?
