I have downloaded the Octave source for Linux (I'm running Fedora Core
4 64 bit) and I'm trying to compile and run it. I've unzipped
everything into a folder called 'octave' in my home directory, and I'm
following the instructions in the INSTALL document. When I run 'make
check' I get the following output (actually several pages of FAIL
messages with the following summary:
# of expected passes 5
# of unexpected failures 1195
WARNING: octave_version failed:
couldn't execute "../src/octave": no such file or directory
make[2]: *** [check] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/acase/octave/octave-2.1.71/test'
make[1]: *** [check] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/acase/octave/octave-2.1.71'
make: *** [check] Error 2
Any suggestions about how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.
I've looked through the mailing list archives but I haven't been able
to find anything directly relevant. I'm not a programmer (outside of
nice tidy environments like MATLAB, at least), so I may have
overlooked something completely obvious.
I have all the up to date versions of g++, flex, bison, and gperf.
Thanks,
