it appears i should be able to run native graphics.


3. final output of make check 


Summary:

  PASS     11143
  FAIL         4
  XFAIL       10
  SKIPPED    400


I checked the 4 failures.  all related to spdiags.  seems unrelated to the
crash on startup.  fntest.log attached.


4. stacktrace from gdb src/.libs/lt-octave-gui

run_octave & octave-gui ultimately execute lt-octave-gui.   I was hoping that
running it this way would yield some useful information (understanding that
running it directly may not set up the runtime environment appropriately).  

stacktrace definately shows segfault, and in QT.   assuming this is valid, any
idea what may be amiss?   looks like missing image or string resources.

Guidance on further debugging would be appreciated.    I was unable to locate
any configure option to create a debug build.  Is there a way to do this?
