I also have this problem on OSX using the CVS as of 5:18PM EST
10/31/2007. My configure line is as follows:
./configure CC=gcc-4 CXX=g++-4 F77=gfortran CPPFLAGS=-I/sw/include
LDFLAGS=-L/sw/lib --prefix=/sw/opt/octave/cvs_2.9_20071007
The config.log file indicates it failed at:
configure:15915: checking BLAS library calling convention compatibility
configure:15958: result: no
Reading through your email chain, I wasn't sure whether a solution had
been reached, other than to cut out the test code so it always
succeeds, but is this going to cause problems when compiling/running?
I tried to compile the conftest code by hand, but if I compile/link it
with:
gfortran conftest.f -c -g3
gfortran conftest.o -o conftest -Wl,-framework -Wl,vecLib
and then try to run it, I get a "Illegal instruction" error. I ran it
in gdb and get further information concerning where the error occurred:
Program received signal EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION, Illegal instruction/operand.
