Thanks for the bug report, which I am passing on to the octave-forge
hackers. This looks like something we can probably patch rather quickly in
both the package and upstream cvs.

Here what my build log shows:

Processing extra/mex/
make[3]: Entering directory /tmp/buildd/octave-forge-2004.11.16/extra/mex'
mkoctfile -DHAVE_OCTAVE_21 -v -c  -o mex.o mex.cc

cat mex.in | sed -e "s:@MKOCTFILE@:mkoctfile -DHAVE_OCTAVE_21

sr/lib/octave/2.1.63/site/oct/i386-pc-linux-gnu/octave-forge:g;s:@MEXLIB@:mex.o:
g" \
        -e 's;@_AWK_@;@AWK@;g' > mex
chmod a+x mex

Probably something wrong with configure ...

Regards, Dirk
