Configuring Octave

[Labitt, Bruce]

Thanks Carlo.  It still dies on me.

In config.log it now says:

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libpcre.so when searching
for -lpcre
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libpcre.a when searching for
-lpcre
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpcre

??? I thought LIBS="-L/lib64/ -lpcre" pointed the system to look in
/lib64 ???

I assume you are working on some unix platform

change this to  LIBS="-L/lib64/ -lpcre"

this means something like "the compiler is looking for a file called  
'lib/lib64/libpcre.so.a' which cannot be found"

you should have a look at man pages for ld and gcc for further details
