I just tried to build octave against the latest Curl. It seems to get
past the error I was seeing, but now I get:

/home/ddoria/src/octave-3.4.2/doc/interpreter//matrix.texi:1429:
Unknown command `leq'.
/home/ddoria/src/octave-3.4.2/doc/interpreter//matrix.texi:1429: Misplaced {.
/home/ddoria/src/octave-3.4.2/doc/interpreter//matrix.texi:1429: Misplaced }.
makeinfo: Removing output file
`/home/ddoria/src/octave-3.4.2/doc/interpreter/octave.info' due to
errors; use --force to preserve.

Any thoughts?
