Okay, I'll close the report.

Also, it seems that people may have gotten past the "Default not compiling" error by removing all *.df files in the Octave tree and starting a fresh build. Maybe that would help in your case as well.

Indeed the gnuplot version number was not correctly set - it was not set at all. I corrected that in my gnuplot build.

Right now I suffer from the problem described in the "Default not compiling"-thread on the mailing list, so I cannot provide a valid output of the run-octave command.

But I am pretty sure the problem was on my side with the wrongly built gnuplot. So thank you for your suggestion ans sorry for the noise.

The problem seems to be that your gnuplot version is not being correctly set.

Could you check whether you have gnuplot installed?

Assuming you do, what does 'gnuplot --version' print out when typed at a shell prompt.

And finally, do ./run-octave --no-gui in the development sources and try the following.

What is that returning?

Adding --disable-docs to the configure flags is a workaround.
