I'm having problems compiling octave-2.0.16 on an SGI
Origin 200 running Irix 6.5.1. I've installed and am using
gmake, I grabbed the GCC compiler stuff from freeware.sgi.com:

   I  fw_gcc               01/18/02  gcc-3.0.1 GNU Compiler Suite
   I  fw_gcc.man           01/18/02  gcc-3.0.1 man pages
   I  fw_gcc.man.gcc       01/18/02  gcc-3.0.1 man pages
   I  fw_gcc.man.info      01/18/02  gcc-3.0.1 info pages
   I  fw_gcc.man.relnotes  01/18/02  gcc-3.0.1 release notes
   I  fw_gcc.sw            01/18/02  gcc-3.0.1 execution only env
   I  fw_gcc.sw.gcc        01/18/02  gcc-3.0.1 execution only env
   I  fw_gcc.sw.libstdc++  01/18/02  gcc-3.0.1 libstdc++-v3
   I  fw_gcc.sw.utils      01/18/02  gcc-3.0.1 other languages, utilities

The error is:

gmake[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/install/net_octave/octave-2.0.16/liboctave'

I've tried in vain playing with certain things, but
ultimately it would seem I have the necessary stuff, it's just
some problem with the definitions, prototypes, or the
preprocessor. I've searched for relevant bug reports and
for IRIX binaries (if only!), to no avail.

If it helps here's the final output from configure:

Octave is now configured for mips-sgi-irix6.5

Thanks,
