Re: Install octave-forge

[Paul Kienzle]

Since the parts of octave-forge are independent of each other, it tries 
to build everything rather than stopping at the first error.

The error messages are reported in build.log.  You can scan through 
there to see what had problems building and decide whether or not you 
care about those functions.

You can run 'make check' to see how badly things are broken.  Not every 
function has tests written for it, but you can still get some idea how 
much doesn't work.

Or you can simply install and use whatever happens to work, and not 
worry about it unless a specific function you need is not available.
