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:

checking for mkoctfile... mkoctfile /usr/lib64/gcc-lib/x86_64-suse-linux/3.3.3/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lncurses collect2: ld returned 1 exit status configure: error: Could not run mkoctfile

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? Ciao, Marcus
