Bug report for Octave %VERSION% configured for %TARGET_HOST_TYPE%

Description:
-----------
when i compile octave-2.0 and make gets to the cmd-hist.cc
file in the liboctave directory the compiler complains hat the class
basic_string does not have a member called "empty."  i looked in the
cmd-hist.cc file and, sure enough, there are several calls to a member 
function called empty().  the type  of the object that is calling "empty()"
is "string."

Repeat-By:
---------

1.  i unzip and untar the octave-2.0 package from the /usr directory. 
    (the octave-2.0 directory is created. so, i have a path for octave
     that looks like: /usr/octave-2.0)
2.  i ran configure. configure gave me a whole bunch of output (i am attaching
    the configure.log file), none of which appeared to be a failure.
3.  i ran make.  i got a whole bunch of output -- everything looked good until

    i got to the liboctave directory and make got to  the cmd-hist.cc file
4.  attampts by make to compile cmd-hist.cc returned the error described above.


Fix:
---

  * If possible, replace this item with a description of how to
    fix the problem (if you don't have a fix for the problem, don't
    include this section, but please do submit your report anyway).
