RE: Compilation problems

[Robinson, Melvin D]

This seemed to fix it up, and I got substantially further into the compilation, 
but now it has errored out on the libGraphicsMagick++ libraries:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libGraphicsMagick++.a(CoderInfo.o): relocation 
R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; 
recompile with -fPIC
/usr/local/lib/libGraphicsMagick++.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [DLD-FUNCTIONS/__magick_read__.la] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/melrobin/octave/current_octave/octave/src'
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/melrobin/octave/current_octave/octave/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/melrobin/octave/current_octave/octave'
make: *** [all] Error 2

These libraries do work for the snapshot.

have you run autogen.sh on source tree ?
