Yes, it builds. Thanks.
Next step: where can I find information about releasing a package that
has (like gsl) .cc files? The instructions at 
        http://octave.sourceforge.net/developers.html
seem to not generate any configure at all and
        http://wiki.octave.org/Creating_packages
is essentially empty.

Thanks
