Strike that: if I configure with 

        ./configure CC=gcc-mp-4.3 CXX=g++-mp-4.3 F77=gfortran-mp-4.3
        LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib --without-framework-carbon
        --without-z --without-hdf5 --without-fftw3 --without-fftw3f
        --without-glpk --without-curl --without-cholmod
        --without-cxsparse --without-umfpack

then I get

        Making check in test
        ../run-octave --norc --silent --no-history ./fntests.m .
        make[2]: *** [check] Bus error

The previous build included --without-framework-opengl, and that build
proceeded through "make check" with only three test failures.  Do you
also have trouble with this library?
