John,

I just noticed your post to help-octave, but didn't notice if you got a 
reply or not...my ISP was down with a busted T1 for a couple days, so I 
didn't get a lot of mail.  My latest i386 RedHat Linux installation also 
no longer has libieee, which is being looked for because of the gcc option 
"-mieee-fp".  The word I have received is that all the libieee 
functionality has been moved to the new libm.  So, as an interim "fix", I 
copy /usr/lib/libm.a to octave-1.93/libieee.a  {or wherever the root of 
your source tree is.                ^^^^^^^^^

Maybe not a clean fix, but it got me compiled!
