Hi,

I am running Linux 2.0.24, with gcc-2.7.2, libc-5.4.7, libg++-2.7.2.1,
and f2c (960717).  I downloaded the binary distribtion of octave-1.1.1,
but that gave a segmentation fault whenever I tried to run it.  Then
I downloaded the source and tried compiling it myself.  The make couldn't
complete due to errors in <std/complext.h>.  The compiler reported that
it couldn't parse the __attibute__ macros that are used in the header file.
It also complained that c_c_Mapper is undefined in the file 
liboctave/mx-defs.h.

What can I do?  Is there a version of the source that's compatible with
the newest libs and gcc/g++?  Is there a binary distribution that works
on a Linux configuration like mine?  Thanks.
