Re: Octave.app 2.9.13 for Mac OS X

[marco.bucci]

I solved the problem. The message regarding not supported stripping was
misleading. It is just a message, but then the package is compiled without
this option (anyway this option is in <signal-1.0.2/src/Makefile>).

The actual problem was an "&" in the Octave.app path name that made not
visible the include files. 
 Reading the application readme file, I saw that there are problems if
pathname includes spaces. So, it seems there are also other special
characters that must be avoided.
