Suitesparse 2.1.1 fails to compile on MacOS X 10.3.9

[azvoleff@…]

While trying to install Octave 2.9.9 on Mac OS X 10.3.9, all dependencies build successfully except for suitesparse. See below.

After running ranlib on libcolamd.a, I still get an error. See below:

probably fixed by now (r21844)

tried to contact the person who submitted the ticket, got this response:

Thanks for your email. I no longer work on the system for which I filed the bug (I am now on Linux). However, I forwarded your email to the current user of that Mac system.

that person never answered, though.
