Ernie Rothman and I have ported Octave onto MachTen Unix, v 4.1, on
PowerPC Macintosh systems.  Unfortunately, the most recent  version of
MachTen Unix will not compile Octave, due to an apparent fault in their
port of the g77 compiler.  While I hate to give up running MacOS and
Unix simultaneously, I'm considering running Octave under MkLinux
instead.  

Does anyone on the list have experience with MkLinux on PowerPC/Powerbook
G3's?  In particular, 
- Does Octave compile/run o.k. in this environment?
- Can shared libraries (.oct files) be used?

Please reply to help-octave so that the response will be stored in
the archive.

Thanks.
