Hi all, I'm trying to install octave-forge-2004.02.12 downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/ and ./configure fails with the following error message:

I have submitted this as bug 980116 at http://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/
Has anyone successfully built octave-forge on SuSE 9.1 AMD64? How? Thanks
Did you install the "ncurses-devel" package?
