To compile Octave 1.1.1 with gcc 2.7.x, one or both of the following
patches will probably help:

  ftp://ftp.che.wisc.edu/pub/octave/README-GCC-2.7.0
  ftp://ftp.che.wisc.edu/pub/octave/README-GCC-2.7.1

: Is there a newer version of octave I don't know about ?

There are also test releases of version 2.0 available from the same
site, in the directory /pub/octave/pre-2.0.  To build the test
releases, you will probably need gcc 2.7.2 and libg++ 2.7.1 or 2.7.2.
