Bug report for Octave 1.1.1 configured for i486-unknown-linux

Description:
-----------

    I just compiled octave on my i386 box running Linux slackware 1.2.13.
    The location of the g++-include files was not detected by the configure
    script, so I had to manually edit makeconf to include -I/usr/g++-include.
    After that I was able to commplete the compilation. However, when I tried
    to run octave to test it out, I encountered problems. e.g.:
        help erf
        octave says erf is a builtin function. But
        erf(1.0)
        octave says erf is not available for my system.
     The same thing happens with erfc, gamma, lgamma.
     I am using g77 0.5.6 to compile the fortran codes. f77 is a symbolic
     link to g77.
      The octave binaries that I got from one of the Linux mirror sites 
     works correctly. But I have to recompile octave to use NPSOL.
