Bug report for Octave 2.0.13 configured for sparc-sun-sunos4.1.4

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

	I'm trying to compile octave and get so far (through all the fortran
	libraries for example). The problem seems to be in compiling c++ ---
	I don't know enough of the language to decide whether this comes
	about because the classes in libg++ are inconsistent with the
	definitions here, or because my version of gcc can't handle templates
	of this kind.

	I'm running gcc/g++ 2.7.2.1
	--which according to the documentation should be OK
	I'd appreciate any suggestions, such as: install an earlier version
	of octave

	Thanks
	Nick
