umfpack.h not found? octave warning

English Applications

Hi,
I am trying to compile the latest version of octave ie 3.0.3. It
needs umfpack which i downloaded from Webpin. But after
Code:

./configure --prefix=/path/to/installation/directory

i still get the warning:> configure: WARNING: UMFPACK not found. This will result in some lack of
> functionality for sparse matrices.I do not understand the coding of the configure file but i do see the
line:
Code:

for ac_header in suitesparse/umfpack.h ufsparse/umfpack.h umfpack/umfpack.h umfpack.h

in the configure file. And umfpack.h is in /usr/include. So why the
warning?

Hi
If you run the command .configure --help you may have to specify the
full path in your command eg;


../configure --prefix=/path/to/installation/directory
--includedir=/usr/include/suitesparse

Hi
Just had a look and there is an octave 3.0.3 in the Science repository;
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/science/openSUSE_11.0

Download and build from the source rpm and it will pickup suitesparce,
the only items it doesn’t configure is GLPK and Qhull.
