Please help make the 3.6.4 release a success by building from this
release candidate and reporting any problems.  We could especially use
reports for Windows and OS X systems.

On Fedora 18 x86_64:

No problem with build:
Summary:

  PASS  10212
  FAIL      0

and gnuplot seems OK.  But, "fltk"  has serious problems:
octave:1> plot(1:400)
XOpenIM() failed
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib64/dri/i965_dri.so
libGL: Can't open configuration file /home/godfrey/.drirc: No such file or directory.
libGL: Can't open configuration file /home/godfrey/.drirc: No such file or directory.

and the plot is incomplete.  This appears to be due to a problem in OpenGL.
For me the problem has been made worse due to switching to a newer system
which uses Intel graphics.  My older systems used Nvidia.

While "fltk" has known problems, the XOpemIM() failed problem is due to FC18.

I cannot reproduce this problem on i7-2600k ("Sandy Bridge" w/ integrated intel 3000 graphics) --

perhaps you have a newer chip ("Ivy Bridge") with Intel 4000 graphics.
 

I do have the "usual" fltk problem (broken/missing lines, see attached; the "print" of

this plot looks fine though).
