Details:

Trying to build octave-optim using the latest (HG revision 16058) fails with
this error:

error: cannot find directory <builddir>

although it actually exists. This was remedied by changing

  [builddir, status] = canonicalize_file_name (builddir);
  if (! status)
    error ("cannot find directory %s", builddir);
  endif

to

  [builddir, status] = canonicalize_file_name (builddir);
  if (status ~= 0)
    error ("cannot find directory %s", builddir);
  endif

in /usr/share/octave/3.7.2+/m/pkg/private/build.m
At least on my system, status is zero if the file exists and -1 if it doesn't.
