Please post what options you used with configure, it may be important.

I'm afraid this is not very helpful either.  Does the file ../liboctave/
liboctave.a exist?  Were there any other errors before this, especially
in the building of liboctave? You can direct the output of make to a file
and check at the end of the build.

In ksh, this should work: make > make.log 2>&1
In csh/tcsh: make >& make.log

In another window you can monitor the progress using "tail -f make.log"
