Thanks David.
I do not understand the problem correctly.
If so and if the following techinically possible, the configure script check 
the metis futures with
some check program, and stop building the octave and the show the message like.

The cholmod library with METIS library conflicts the GPL.
Please use the cholmod without METIS libarary.
