What 2.1.xx version of Octave? In the last few releases, 2.1.4?, rpath 
must  be enabled by default during configure, and I think that also the 
configuration of --enable-dl has changed (not sure about this)

Thanks, Rafael, for continuing to plug away at the important task of Debian
packaging.

Good new, indeed!

From the Debian buildd logs, Octave worked on hppa until version 2.1.43-2.  
From 2.1.44-1 on there have been segfaults.

I have no idea about this.  I am Cc:ing this message to Dirk Eddelbuettel,
the maintainer of octave2.1 for Debian.

Instead of talking among ourselves, maybe we should get JWE involved are
actually start to fix this? Vounteers?

It's a change JWE made upstream. See the changelog, and mailing list archives.

Don't drink and derive. Alcohol and algebra don't mix.

And what about asking for help in the debian-hppa mailing list.  Would it be
appropriate?
