Bug Description
Stable release update justification:
Impact: Missing symbols mean that Octave's fltk plotting backend is broken.
Development branch: Fixed by removing unnecessary build-dependencies on libgl1-
Patch: http://
TEST CASE: Run octave3.2, then type (without the outer single quotes) 'backend("fltk")' followed by 'sombrero'. You should see a coloured plot resembling a sombrero hat.
Regression potential: I imagine it's worth trying some of Octave's other example programs.
Original report follows:
Binary package hint: octave3.2
Steps to reproduce:
run octave3.2
backend("fltk")
Expected outcome:
prompt should return and the fltk backend should be usable for plotting.
Outcome:
error: /usr/lib/
error: called from:
error: /usr/share/
Solution:
While compiling octave3.2, ftgl-dev is one of the dependencies. If ftgl-dev is installed while compiling, this error will not happen.
Thanks.

can anyone recompile and update octave 3.2.3 for Lucid? this is a regression, backend('fltk') worked fine on octave 3.2.2 fine on Karmic.
