Hi,
Apologies is this gets double-posted; I think I sent it to the wrong address the first time.
I've lurked on this mailing list for a year or so but I finally decided to get set up with the source and see if I could make any contributions. Anyway:
When I build the latest (I've tried default and stable) source I get an immediate segfault when I try to run octave with the GUI. I can run the CLI just fine, and even produce plots with the native graphics plotter without any problems. Launching the GUI with "-d" produces no stack trace, just "octave exited with signal 11". Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Dustin
ADDITION INFORMATION:
I'm running a fresh install of Debian 7.3. I installed all of the packages listed in the "Build" section of the wiki, and discovered that I was still missing some dependencies, so I installed the following packages:
gfortran, pkg-config, llvm-dev, default-jdk, libqt4-dev,libgl1-mesa-dev,
libqscintilla2-dev, libfontconfig1-dev, libxft-dev
The summary from configure looks like this:
