I've run configure as shown below ...

$ ./configure --prefix=/sw --infodir=${prefix}/share/info 
--mandir=${prefix}/share/man --libexecdir=${prefix}/lib 
--with-blas=-Wl,-framework -Wl,vecLib --without-framework-carbon 
--without-framework-opengl --without-qhull --without-hdf5 --without-fftw3 
--without-fftw3f --without-glpk --without-curl --without-qrupdate --without-amd 
--without-camd --without-colamd --without-ccolamd --without-cholmod 
--without-cxsparse --without-umfpack --without-arpack       --without-z 
--disable-readline

"make"  still fails with ...

Making all in interpreter
/run-octave -f -q -H -p . --eval "geometryimages ('voronoi', 'txt');"
/bin/sh: /run-octave: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [voronoi.txt] Error 127
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

While Octave does run, it core-dumps when quit.

I'm going to remove my FLTK libs and try again (is there a --without-fltk 
option?).
