centos and octave-3.2.4

[mkmohie]

Hello,

I am trying to compile octave-3.2.4 with centos 5.5 and I get the following error

ux/3.4.6 -L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.6/../../../../lib64 -L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.4.6/../../.. -L/lib/../lib64 -L/usr/lib/../lib64 -lz -lfrtbegin -lg2c -lm -lfreetype -lGL -lGLU
../src/liboctinterp.so: undefined reference to `std::basic_istream<char, std::char_traits<char> >::ignore()'
../src/liboctinterp.so: undefined reference to `__cxa_get_exception_ptr'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [octave] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/octave/octave-3.2.4/src'
make[1]: *** [src] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/octave/octave-3.2.4'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I have looked and I can not find any solutions. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Any time I experience compilation problems like this, it is usually because a dependency is unfulfilled. Are you sure you have all the development headers necessary for this program? If you can find a list of dependencies on the developers' website, you should check you have them all installed.

If that doesn't help, I'm probably going to be fairly useless.

Hope it helps

Luke

Are you trying to build with GCC 3.4? If so, install 4.1 or 4.4 and try that. You can have any number of gcc versions installed at the same time on your system. I have 3.4, 4.1, and 4.4 on my CentOS (RHEL) system, and 4.2 and 4.3 on my Ubuntu laptop.
