[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #35094] Compile fails to make documentation in interpreter directory

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #35094 (project octave):

Thanks all for helping me to debug my installation.

OK, I confirmed that my Texinfo installation was problematic. Actually, there
was no texinfo executable (although TeX Live is installed; I use it
regularly.) 

Before Rik's comment, I tried to install texinfo and edited the Makefile.in
located in the build-aux directory to point to it. Basically, I started
debugging any broken paths in that Makefile.

Finally, I got an indication the compilation was complete:

Octave successfully built.  Now choose from the following:


But it crashed with a segfault on the first execution.

THEN, I followed-up on Rik's suggestion (missed that configure option, and I
was looking for it [actually a no-TeX-documentation option]) and the same
thing happened, basically.

SO, to be clear, I first ran "make clean" and then the following configure
line:

./configure --without-hdf5 --without-qhull
--with-blas=/usr/lib64/libblas.so.3.0.3
--with-lapack=/usr/lib64/liblapack.so.3.0.3 --disable-readline --disable-docs


The compilation appeared to succeed, then I ran "make check." I've attached
the "make check" output.

By the way, I'm certainly a non-expert, and perhaps my original bug report
title was inappropriate (it has since changed), but  I can't get an executable
working: that's my priority, and that's the spirit of my bug report. The
current title seems to cast this as a problem making documentation, when even
"--disable-docs" is included.

Thanks for your help,
Ryan
