Making check in test
../run-octave --norc --silent --no-history ./fntests.m .

Integrated test scripts:

invalid assignment to cs-list outside multiple assignment

make -C doc ../INSTALL.OCTAVE
make -C interpreter ../../INSTALL.OCTAVE
make[4]: `../../INSTALL.OCTAVE' is up to date.
make -C doc ../BUGS
make -C interpreter ../../BUGS
make[4]: `../../BUGS' is up to date.

Octave successfully built.  Now choose from the following:

   ./run-octave    - to run in place to test before installing
   make check      - to run the tests
   make install    - to install (PREFIX=/usr/local)
