Hi Jaroslav,

Here is config.log from my last try. I have tried a lot of different
variations, this
last was without any 64bit options. You are correct in that after compiling,
my
next step is always to run gmake check, which is this case exits immediately
on
the first test.

Also, I tried your suggestion of running ./run-octave, the result was octave
did not
start, and my cpu utilization went to 100% and stayed there, never bringing
up the
Octave prompt.

    

That's bad. Hmmm, I can't see anything bad in the config file.
Can you try `./run-octave -x'? Perhaps we'll see the command that chokes Octave.
Also, does './run-octave -f' trigger the problem as well?


cheers
