  I'm having some problems installing octave v0.72 in a DEC station 5000.
When I execute 'make' (after a sh ./configure), the final linking of
octave binary, results in two undefined symbols:

do_stop__
s_abort
-------------------------------

I'm using gcc 2.3.3 and f2c version from 12 March 1993.
  Concerning 'do_stop__', apparently the problem lies or in 'do_stop.c' or in
'xstopx.f', because those are the only places I've found closer symbols.
  As to 's_abort', it looks like a f2c library problem (perhaps I'm using an
older version). 

I've solve this problem associating do_stop__ to do_stop (of 'do_stop.c'), and
's_abort' to the normal C 'abort', but I'm not sure if that is the correct
solution. Is it ?

  Thanks for any help you can give me.
