John, Frank,
I originally tried to build octave without metis. My guess was that I didn't
need metis, and there is an option to build without metis in CHOLMOD, so I
tried it, and did get a libcholmod.a. During octave configure, the script
was looking for metis headers. During the octave-2.9.7 make, I had
unsatisfied symbols with metis in the name, so I went back and reconfigured
and rebuilt CHOLMOD with metis. Everything then worked. Maybe someone can
explain why this happened.
One error in my original post on how to build UFsparse: the file that you
modify in UFconfig is UFconfig.mk, not UFconfig.h.
