I made another mistake in generating the distribution tar file that
causes trouble for --enable-shared.  You need the attached files plus
a recent version of autoconf.  Then either unpack a fresh copy of the
distribution or remove any autom4te directories that you may have
generated and copy the files as follows:

  acx_blas.m4 -> top level of the octave source tree
  acx_lapack.m4 -> top level of the octave source tree
  mkpkgadd -> scripts subdirectory, make executable

then run

  ./autogen.sh
  configure ...
  make

and I think it should work.  These problems in creating the
distribution file are fixed in CVS now.
