Details:

I have the stable gl2ps installed in a standard location by my package manager
(I am on debian stretch) and I routinely use the dev version of gl2ps for
building dev Octave using the following configure flags:


./configure --prefix=/home/pd218333/Documents/On/octavebuild/local \
CFLAGS="-I/home/somewhere/gl2ps/" \
CXXFLAGS="-I/home/somewhere/gl2ps/" \
LDFLAGS="-L/home/somewhere/gl2ps/ -lgl2ps" \
...


The first problem, which has always (to my knowledge) been there, is that I
need to preload the right version of libgl2ps.so in order to execute
run-octave or the system gl2ps is loaded 


LD_PRELOAD="/home/somewhere/gl2ps/libgl2ps.so" ./run-octave


This trick used to not be necessary (up to when ???) for running an installed
version of dev octave. IOW


make install
/my/prefix/bin/octave ## previously worked
LD_PRELOAD="/home/somewhere/gl2ps/libgl2ps.so" /my/prefix/bin/octave ##
currently necessary
