Comment (by kent.conover@…):

 Replying to [comment:5 michaelld@…]:
 >Right! In answer to your query, the folder /localscratch/ does not exist
 on my machine. I assume that it should be created by one of the port
 steps. I know little about it beyond the inkling that folders with this
 name are used by grid engines. for example:
 [https://ugrgrid.ugr.es/index.php?page=aplicaciones&idioma=en]. It is
 likely that someone wants to deploy "octave" in such a setting.

 > Here's the error:
 > {{{
 > :info:build /opt/local/bin/grep:
 /localscratch/compile/szip-2.1/szip/lib/libsz.la: No such file or
 directory
 > :info:build /opt/local/bin/gsed: can't read
 /localscratch/compile/szip-2.1/szip/lib/libsz.la: No such file or
 directory
 > :info:build libtool: link:
 `/localscratch/compile/szip-2.1/szip/lib/libsz.la' is not a valid libtool
 archive
 > }}}
 > Can you shed light on what "/localscratch/" is on your system? I've
 never heard of such a thing, on my system or needed/used by Octave.
