[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #43228] Cannot install control package in Octave 3.8.1 on Mac OSX

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #43228 (project octave):

I downloaded the source and configure completed after installing gfortran. 
However, the octave build failed with five basic looking C++ errors, looking
like a bad choice of compiler was being used.  My next move was to download
the 10.9 binary installer from
http://wiki.octave.org/Octave_for_MacOS_X#Binary_installer_for_OSX_10.9.1 and
try  that.  Octave-cli runs, but it also cannot install the control package:


octave:1> pkg -forge install control
/bin/sh: line 0: cd: sltmp: No such file or directory
gfortran-mp-4.7: error: *.f: No such file or directory
gfortran-mp-4.7: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.
make: *** [slicotlibrary.a] Error 1
tar -xzf slicot.tar.gz
mkdir sltmp
mv slicot/src/*.f ./sltmp
mv slicot/src_aux/*.f ./sltmp
cp TG04BX.fortran ./sltmp/TG04BX.f
cd sltmp; /usr/local/octave/3.8.0/bin/mkoctfile-3.8.0 -c *.f

pkg: error running `make' for the control package.
error: called from 'configure_make' in file
/usr/local/octave/3.8.0/share/octave/3.8.0/m/pkg/private/configure_make.m near
line 82, column 9
error: called from:

octave:1> 


I guess that means the problem is on the octave-forge side.
