I can not repeat the previous failures.

I redid everything.

rm the octave build directory
$ ../configure LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib/OpenBlas/lib \
--enable-threads=posix CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/include/suitesparse

build and install octave
pkg install -forge control
   A few warnings
pkg test control.
   12 errors, all in ltimodels

Weird.

Maybe something not cleaned out in the build directory???

Internet error?
