[OctDev] "dispatch.oct is not a valid shared library".

[Lute K. <Lut...@cw...>]

Dear people,

I've built octave-forge from CVS on top of octave from CVS.  Now,
when I start octave-2.1.50, I see these messages:

,----
| error: /export/scratch1/lute/software/cvs/libexec/octave/2.1.50/site/oct/i686-pc-linux-gnu/octave-forge/dispatch.oct is not a valid shared library
| error: `dispatch' undefined near line 2 column 1
| error: near line 2 of file `/export/scratch1/lute/software/cvs/share/octave/2.1.50/site/m/octave-forge/comm//PKG_ADD'
| error: source: error sourcing file `/export/scratch1/lute/software/cvs/share/octave/2.1.50/site/m/octave-forge/comm//PKG_ADD'
`----

It seems that octave doesn't recognize dispatch.oct as a valid shared
lib.  I've got a number of octave versions installed in parallel, but
I don't think that is causing the problem as .configure informed me
that:

,----
| octave-forge is configured with
|    octave:      /export/scratch1/lute/software/cvs/bin/octave (version 2.1.50)
|    mkoctfile:	/export/scratch1/lute/software/cvs/bin/mkoctfile for Octave 50
`----

Did I mess up the installation, or is this a bug?

  Lute.
