I compiled metis and ufsparse with metis support and tried building with 
the following patch applied (fixes one more error in configure.in):

When I tried to build, I didn't even get as far as you have. It fails 
with the following error:


make liboctave

I suspect the problem has something to do with gcc 4, which is more 
strict about enforcing the C/C++ standards than previous versions, but 
it's not obvious to me how to fix this. I think the code here is David 
Bateman's creation. Are you reading, David?
