: There are a number of problems (besides lots of g++ warnings),

If these are warning about `control reaches end of non-void function',
they are due to a bug in g++, not Octave.  If you are getting other
warnings, can you send them to me?

: namely 
: 
: 	(i) in the Makefile for ./src, VPATH is defined as 
: 
: 		VPATH = .:./../bsd-math
: 
:             which caused the /bin/sh to dump core. I had placed comments 
: 	    around the path to get it to compile the source in the directory 

What version of GNU make do you have?  I ran into a bug like this with
3.63, but it seems to be fixed in 3.65.

Thanks,

jwe
