>Description:
	
The octave package can only be built by root since it uses `install -o root
-g wheel' during the build stage:

INSTALL_DATA='/usr/bin/install -c -o root -g wheel' ./klibtool install-lib . libkpathsea.la
/usr/bin/install -c -o root -g wheel ./STATIC/libkpathsea.a ./libkpathsea.a
install: ./libkpathsea.a: chown/chgrp: Operation not permitted
gmake[2]: *** [../kpathsea/libkpathsea.la] Error 1    

Patch-ag corrected that back in the pkglibtool era, but this problem now
has reappeared with libtool.
>How-To-Repeat:
	
% cd <wherever-your-pkgsrc-is>/math/octave
% make
>Fix:
	
Up to the libtool guys. Maybe use $(LN) instead of $(INSTALL_LIBTOOL_LIBS).
Patch-ag can be replaced with the correct fix.
