I am running Solaris 2.2 (SparcStation 10).
I obtained Solaris 2.x binary distribution of octave.
Says in README from ftp site that it is statically linked, BUT
"./octave -v" fails with:
ld.so.1: ./octave: can't find file libF77.so.2
Killed

So I did:
$ ldd ./octave
	libF77.so.2 =>	 (not found)
	libm.so.1 =>	 /usr/lib/libm.so.1
	libc.so.1 =>	 /usr/lib/libc.so.1
	libdl.so.1 =>	 /usr/lib/libdl.so.1

So I tried making a symlink from /usr/4lib/libF77.so.2.0 to
libF77.so.2 in /usr/local/lib, which is in my LD_RUN_PATH and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH (which are
/home/rosen/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/ucblib:/usr/openwin/lib).

Okay, now the shared libraries are all resolved:
$ ldd ./octave
	libF77.so.2 =>	 /usr/local/lib/libF77.so.2
	libm.so.1 =>	 /usr/lib/libm.so.1
	libc.so.1 =>	 /usr/lib/libc.so.1
	libdl.so.1 =>	 /usr/lib/libdl.so.1

$ ./octave -v
ld.so.1: ./octave: relocation error: symbol not found: ___ansi_fflush: referenced in /usr/local/lib/libF77.so.2
Killed

Help!

Why does it need libF77.so at all if it was supposed to have been
statically linked to avoid these problems?
