No rule to make target `Common/liboctaviz.so'

[kostja]

Hello!

I'm trying to compile octaviz-0.4.6 using cmake-2.4.3.
I have octave-2.1.73 and vtk-5.0.2 installed on my system.

I tried to follow the instructions on this site:
http://octaviz.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=build
and did the following in the root directory of the unpacked octaviz tar ball:
ccmake
-> c
-> c
-> g
make

what resulted in the following output:
Scanning dependencies of target vtkWrapOctave
[  0%] Building C object Wrapping/CMakeFiles/vtkWrapOctave.dir/vtkWrapOctave.o
[  0%] Building C object Wrapping/CMakeFiles/vtkWrapOctave.dir/vtkParse.tab.o
Linking C executable vtkWrapOctave
[  0%] Built target vtkWrapOctave
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `Common/liboctaviz.so', needed by `Common'.  Stop.
make[1]: *** [Common/CMakeFiles/Common.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

What should I do, to compile octaviz?

Kind regards
Konstantin

I think I remember having this same error when using cmake-2.4.3.  Try upgrading cmake.  Cmake-2.4.5 is working for me.
