I managed to fix that, and it's now compiling properly.

Jeroen, are you going to make the version you compiled available
somewhere?

I'll look into that. I'll send you an e-mail soon.

PS: sorry for the e-mail, Mr. Anderson; I accidentally used the wrong
'reply' button in my news client.

Hi,
I'm trying to compile the latest version of Octave (2.1.64, but I also
tried
2.1.60), but the configuration script exits with the following message:
checking for rl_set_keyboard_input_timeout in -lreadline... no
configure: WARNING: I need GNU Readline 4.2 or later
configure: error: this is fatal unless you specify --disable-readline
However, the version of the GNU Readline library that's installed is 4.3
(from SGI freeware), so one wouldn't expect a problem there. Next, I tried
the Readline source (v5.0), compiled and installed it, set the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable accordingly, and tried Octave's
configure script again. Unfortunately, that made no difference.
In general,
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is used to add library paths at run time.
(that is, used by the run-time-linker (rld on IRIX)).
Not used by the static-linker (ld).
while
-L<path
is used to add a path at static-link time (not visible to the
run-time-linker). -rpath (ld option) can be used to
to bind a library path, making LD_LIBRARY_PATH unnecessary).
The machine I'm using is an Indigo2 R10k running Irix 6.5.11f. Compiler is
GCC 3.3.
Hope this helps

Check the config.log file whats going on. The configure compiles small
testprogramms to find out if foobar is available and if its the right
version. This buildprocess sometimes failed
while wrong compiler settings or pathes are be used. So when an error
message or just garbage returns the configure detects this as an 'no'.
Btw.
No problems here
checking for tputs in -lncurses... yes
checking for rl_set_keyboard_input_timeout in -lreadline... yes
checking for struct exception in math.h... yes
....
I pass all checks and compiling looks good... still running. I take notice
to hardcoded Compiler flags like -Wshadow an -W
regards
Joerg
