I am trying to compile octave from source on a MacBook Pro running Mac Os X 10.5.7. During 'make' the following happens:
-------------
.....
makeinfo --html --ifinfo --output=HTML -I.. -I. -I./.. ./octave.texi
../../run-octave -f -q -H ./mk_doc_cache.m doc-cache ../../src/DOCSTRINGS ../../scripts/DOCSTRINGS || rm -f doc-cache
panic: Segmentation fault -- stopping myself...
attempting to save variables to `octave-core'...
save to `octave-core' complete
^Cmake[3]: *** Deleting file `doc-cache'
^C
^Cpanic: attempted clean up apparently failed -- aborting...
/bin/sh: line 1: 39147 Abort trap ../../run-octave -f -q -H ./mk_doc_cache.m doc-cache ../../src/DOCSTRINGS ../../scripts/DOCSTRINGS
make[2]: *** [interpreter] Interrupt
make[1]: *** [doc] Interrupt
make: *** [all] Interrupt
-----------------------------------
I am attaching the files octave-3.2.4/config.log and octave-3.2.4/doc/interpreter/octave-core.
If I nevertheless go ahead after this step and say 'make install', it does intall a working octave binary. However, that binary also exits with complaints:

Thanks in advance for any help in resolving these problems. I have posted a bzipped tar file of my entire octave-3.2.4 directory at http://home.iitk.ac.in/~smahesh/oct.tar.bz2
