Hello Dirk and others,
In the packages for Debian Linux, the symbolic links liboctave.so, 
libcruft.so, and liboctinterp.so are created in the 
directory /usr/lib/octave-2.1.58 (or whatever the latest version is) rather 
than /usr/lib/octave.

When linking against these, you need to know which is the latest version 
installed. I'm wondering if the links can be made in /usr/lib/octave, or 
using the /etc/alternatives framework, so that one can write a makefile that 
will work without knowing the last installed version.

Or, if someone has an easy alternative solution, what is it please?

Regards, Michael
