Description Fabian Köster 2014-02-19 10:40:54 UTC

If octave-3.8.0 is installed with the new GUI and I run octave --force-gui it exits with signal 11 if it was not build with curl support, see http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?41067.

So enabling the GUI (I think it is enabled using USE=opengl) should also require USE=curl.


Reproducible: Always
