Re: having issues with qhull support

[Imam Toufique]

I have tried using the version you specified, I had to compile it from the source (rpm), but that did not help. 

 I still get this error:

 

checking qhull/qhull_a.h usability... no

checking qhull/qhull_a.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: qhull/qhull_a.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: qhull/qhull_a.h:     check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: qhull/qhull_a.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: qhull/qhull_a.h:     section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"

configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------------ ##
checking for qhull/qhull_a.h... no
configure: WARNING: Qhull library not found -- this will result in loss of functionality of some geometry functions.

comments?  What exactly do I loose if I did not use qhull?

And do you really need qhull?

If yes, then could you please try qhull5 package from science repo:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/science/SLE_10/

octave is not built there because of missing dependencies, I could try
to resolve it eventually.
