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
./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:
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.

I have nearly the same problem in Opensuse 11.2. When I use the luinc function in Octave I get the error message “error: UMFPACK not installed.”
suitesparse-common-devel version 3.2.0-5.1, libumfpack5 and umfpack-devel, both versions 5.2.0-8.1, are installed together with Octave 3.2.3-0.pm.3.1. Does anyone have suggestions what might cause the error message?
I am a bit confused here. Do I need to install the Suitesparse package in Opensuse 11.2? I cannot find any rpm files for 11.2, only for 11.1.
Hi,
Try to install the rpm of 11.1 into 11.2. It may work.
The best option is to install octave from the reposWebpin
