Bugzilla Bug 84366

In /usr/share/octave/2.1.57/site/m/octave-forge/graceplot/grace_octave_path.m,
I see:

  __pl_grace_octave_path =
/local/tmp/portage/octave-forge-2004.02.12/image//usr/share/octave/2.1.57/site/octave-forge-alternatives/m/graceplot";

Needless to say, this breaks the module ;-)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Found a fix, not yet in portage... maybe tomorrow.

Fix for 2004.11.16 is in portage now (-r1). 2004.02 still waiting, will have to
use an older gcc to test this.

couldn't compile here

The log

Most likely a problem with your gcc version. Will upgrade and try.

Patrizio, please try

mkoctfile --print FLIBS

If you don't see the paths to your gcc version there, you must recompile octave with the same gcc version you use to compile octave-forge.

Tried the old version with the same change to the ebuild
(octave-forge-2004.11.16-r1), works as expected. Closing. If there are still
problems, just let me know.
