I am just trying to install octave 2.0.9 but am running in the following problem: Compiling works quite well for some time, but suddenly everything stops with an error message: ... >> Lots of stuff deleted << ... make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/packages/SOURCES/octave-2.0.9/liboctave' c++ -c -I. -I.. -I../liboctave -I../src -I../glob -I../libcruft/misc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -fno-implicit-templates -g -O2 -Wall Bounds.cc c++ -c -I. -I.. -I../liboctave -I../src -I../glob -I../libcruft/misc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -fno-implicit-templates -g -O2 -Wall CollocWt.cc In file included from /usr/lib/g++-include/std/bastring.h:35, from /usr/lib/g++-include/std/string.h:6, from /usr/lib/g++-include/string:5, from mach-info.h:26, from data-conv.h:28, from dMatrix.h:35, from CollocWt.h:32, from CollocWt.cc:33: /usr/lib/g++-include/std/stddef.h:15: parse error before `::' make[2]: *** [CollocWt.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/packages/SOURCES/octave-2.0.9/liboctave' make[1]: *** [liboctave] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/packages/SOURCES/octave-2.0.9' make: *** [all] Error 2 I am using gcc-2.7.2.1 and g77-0.5.19.1 on a pentium running linux 2.0.30. Of course, I looked into stddef.h but couldn't find a double colon at line 15 or somewhere near to it. Anybody out there who can tell me what I am doing wrong?
