I just checked out the source from CVS, and the only problem I saw so far 
was that the make file specified a file main/comm/comm.texi, but the file 
was named comm.txi.  I renamed the texinfo file  and the build completed 
successfully, but I notice that the help files seem screwed up.  That 
might be something to check into.
"make icheck" failed the very first test due to "gget" being unavailable.  
Not sure what that is about, but gset works correctly.  I have never used 
gget in any of my scripts, so I don't have a test case to check it with.


Mex files compile OK.  I'm still doing some regression testing, but the 
octave forge stuff looks OK so far.
The version of octave shipped with the new Red Hat 9 has some weirdness 
loading script files, but I haven't figured out exactly what it is 
complaining about.

system configuration:
Red Hat 9
gcc 3.2.2
Octave 2.1.40 from Red Hat rpm
octave-forge checked out from CVS 18 May

thanks,
