Thanks for your bug report. I think this report will need some more information to diagnose/reproduce this. For example, I am able to build 3.8.2 and onward against glibc 2.5, 2.12, and 2.13 as well as 2.19.

Can you say specifically which OS/distribution you are compiling on, which glibc version, and perhaps attach a compressed copy of your config.log?

After the problem reported in the previous bug, I decided to compile the newest octave (3.8.2). ./configure works fine, but make halts on a missing definition of secure_getenv. This was apparently added in glib 2.19, but is not tested in configure.

I'm no great compile expert, but I believe other projects use getenv if secure_getenv is not present. Anyway, I suggest this be tested in configure.

Secure_getenv was added in Feb '13, but octave 3.8.1 didn't need it yet.
