Has anyone been able to compile past 2.1.28 on Solaris 2.6 and 2.7
machines? I keep getting the following error when I compile versions
after 2.1.28.

Here is a Solaris 2.6 and gcc 2.95.2 compile error of Octave 2.1.29;

c++ -c  -I. -I.. -I../liboctave -I../src -I../libcruft/misc  -I../glob
-I../glob -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions
-fno-implicit-templates
-g -O2 -Wall oct-syscalls.cc -o oct-syscalls.o
c++ -c  -I. -I.. -I../liboctave -I../src -I../libcruft/misc  -I../glob
-I../glob -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions
-fno-implicit-templates
-g -O2 -Wall oct-time.cc -o oct-time.o
oct-time.cc: In method `void octave_time::stamp()':
oct-time.cc:112: aggregate `struct timeval tp' has incomplete type and
cannot be initialized
oct-time.cc:117: confused by earlier errors, bailing out
gmake[2]: *** [oct-time.o] Error 1
gmake[2]: Leaving directory
`/data/speech/sturim/octave-2.1.29/liboctave'
gmake[1]: *** [liboctave] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/data/speech/sturim/octave-2.1.29'
gmake: *** [all] Error 2  

When I diff oct-time.cc between 2.1.29 and 2.1.28 they are the same, but
my 2.1.28 compile works great. Also all compiles with 2.1.30 and 2.1.31
result in the same error with Solaris 2.6 and 2.7.  I would like to
trouble shoot this further, but need direction on where to look. Not
getting any feedback the only thing I can do is to diff routines before
the error occurred. Any help would be appreciated,  Thanks

Doug
