Question about octave-2.1.34

[Dr. Ing. Dieter Jurzitza]

Dear listmembers,
I recently installed octave-2.1.34 at my site. (SuSE 7.2; Kernel 2.4.7) Now I
found that after configuration:

***** CUTMECUTMECUTMECUTME ***********************
#!/bin/sh
TARGETDIR=/usr
CFLAGS="-D_GNU_SOURCE" CXXFLAGS="-D_GNU_SOURCE" \
./configure --prefix=$TARGETDIR \
--exec-prefix=$TARGETDIR --enable-shared \
--libexecdir=$TARGETDIR/lib \
--infodir=$TARGETDIR/share/info --mandir=$TARGETDIR/share/man \
--enable-lite-kernel --host=i386-suse-linux
***** CUTMECUTMECUTMECUTME ***********************

and then make; make install
I am left with a broken symbolic link in /usr/lib/octave:

drwxr-xr-x    2.1.34
-rw-r--r--    ls-R
lrwxrwxrwx    octave-2.1.34->octave-2.1.34
drwxr-xr-x    site

octave-2.1.34 is a symlink to itself; I think this should not happen. Can
anybody tell me the cause (and maybe a fix ...) for this problem? Because I do
not know how this should look like, I can't change it.
Many thanks in advance,
best regards


Dieter Jurzitza
