Re: trouble compiling

[Luca Citi]

Hi Doug!
Same here. I am using Kubuntu 12.04 amd64.
I had the same error trying to build the development version of octave
after installing the default ubuntu build-deps for octave3.2 that for
some reason misses bison. I fixed it by installing bison too.

This is what I suggest:
$ sudo aptitude --add-user-tag octave-build build-dep octave3.2
$ sudo aptitude --add-user-tag octave-build install bison
then, if you have already messed up your clone of the octave repository:
$ make clean
$ hg st -un0 | xargs -0 rm
Finally:
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make

I hope this helps.
Luca
