I've run into the following problem in attempting to compile octave 2.0.2 
on an IBM PowerPC running AIX 4.1.4:

 echo making all in src
 making all in src
 cd src ; make all
 make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/octave-2.0.2/src'

        ld:open(): A file or directory in the path name does not exist.

 make[1]: *** [src] Error 2
 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/octave-2.0.2'

I am using gcc 2.7.2, libg++ 2.7.1, gnu make 3.74. Any ideas?
