I'll be careful if I have to do that. Perhaps you can add this to the
documentation.
I will do that.

Yes, and the fear was justified. :-( Yapso just crashed when compiled
and used with the debian libosmesa6 package. It worked fine without it.
Octave 2.9.14, i686 kernel 2.6.22, mesa
7.0.1-2, and the free radeon
driver with dri on a thinkpad t43, if this information may be useful.
Does octave+yapso crashed or even the X11 server?
If octave+yapso crashed with OSMesa, can you send me a gdb stack strace?
For example:
gdb $(which octave) core
