It seems to work. It installs and all examples run.

Thanks for testing. Now I should figure out if it is possible to

use a different code depending on the FeniCS version used.

You are also able to plot everything? Which version of Octave are you using?

For me, with the octave-gui sometimes crashes.

Can we not just add Dense to the ac_check in the configure ac?
something like
AC_CHECK_HEADERs([Dense.h dolfin.h],
 ...
 

Also I think you shouldn't need to define -DHAVE_DOLFIN_H since this
is exactly what AC_CHECK_HEADERS do, isn't it?
What you could do is to check compilation by adding

 

-DHAVE_DOLFIN_H is used only for the msh pkg, which I will try to fix in the next few days.

We were using HAVE_DOLFIN_H as you suggest, but there was some problem,

and I and Carne during the OctConf decided to use -DHAVE_DOLFIN_H.

Please give a look here [1] and tell me if you have any suggestion and if it can be

done in a better way.

Thanks a lot

#ifdef HAVE_DOLFIN_H
#include <dolfin.h>
#endif

This will check that dolfin.h is compilable (I guess the API errors
will jump up here).
