I'm new to the whole octave thing, and I downloaded the sourcecode via
cvs (I'm running Linux). After dealing with all the dependencies
I could, I came to UMFPACK. I downloaded the source for 4.4 and
ran make lib in /UMFPACK and /AMD directories. I've tried running the
configure script with
./configure
--libdir="/home/bekkerd/Downloads/octave/UMFPACKv4.4/UMFPACK/Lib/libumfpack.a"
--libdir="/home/bekkerd/Downloads/octave/UMFPACKv4.4/AMD/Lib/libamd.a"
--includedir="/home/bekkerd/Downloads/octave/UMFPACKv4.4/UMFPACK/Include/"
and also running it plain, and copying libumfpack.a and libamd.a to /usr/local/lib and umfpack.h to /usr/local/include
Either way I still get
configure: WARNING: UMFPACK not found. This will result in some lack of functionality for sparse matrices.
