I wonder whether anyone has some suggestions as to what may be going wrong:

I have tried installing Octave 1.1.0 on a Linux box  (ver 1.1.59)
with gcc 2.6.3 and libg++ 2.6.2 and (on one box I get the
following error)
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr2/octave-1.1.0/src'
c++ -c  -I. -I../src -I.. -I../liboctave -I../src -DHAVE_CONFIG_H    -g -O arith-ops.cc

on another box I get a similat error but at a different place
(complains about some conflicting definitions when compiling
another routine - mappers.cc - which seems linked to Complex.h).

I have managed to install octave-1.1.0 on a SGI Indy 5.2 with the
same versions of libg++ and gcc. So.......


Anyone able to provide binaries for the linux?
(One linux box is a pentium 90 and the other a pentium 60 - of that
matters).
