Hi there,

I am not sure if this belongs here, but I have a problem linking
Octave 0.77.

My system is one of the ``supported'' ones:
DECStation 200/240, gcc-2.5.0, bison, flex, libg++-2.4, original
(i.e. not GNU) as and ld,  DEC f77.

When I compile the source distribution everything goes more or less
fine.  Fortran compiles fithout a problem, I am getting a bunch
of warnings form the *.cc files dealing with matrix and vector
operations, but nothing serious.  During the final link I get
the following:

g++  -I. -I./../liboctave -I./.. -I. -I../liboctave -I.. -DNPSOL_MISSING=1

Undefined:
_vt$3ios
__13symbol_recordRC13symbol_record
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [octave] Error 1

I tried to track down the _vt$3ios call, but with no success.
Since the binary distributions works fine on my machine, there must be
something that your DECStation has that I do not.  I searched all
the libraries on my system and cannot find the 3ios string in their
tables of contenets.

I compiled an earlier version of Octave (0.74 I believe) with gcc-2.4.5
without any problems.

Thank you in advance for your time.
