Re: Octave 2.9.9 Compile Problem on Linux i686

[Alex Zvoleff]

        After following Joe's suggestions, I have eliminated the metis error
(by recompiling CHOLMOD without using metis), but I still get the same
error message about the amd references.  I have both the CAMD and AMD
header files in /usr/local/include/ufsparse/ along with the rest of the
SuiteSparse package.  I tried "export LIBS=-lcamd" and then re-ran
configure, but I still get the below error when I run make.
        I have read through the earlier messages regarding UMFPACK problems,
and would just like to add my support to an octave-supplied install
script for UMFPACK, or something similar, as it would greatly simplify
octave installation for those new to it.  Unfortunately, I apparently
lack the requisite knowledge to write such a script.
