Strange.  I built octave-1.0 on hpux with gcc-2.5.8.u5 with not
problem at all.

Oh now I see.  log1p.c should NOT BE COMPILED!  If you have hpux9.01
then you already have all these functions.  If octave is trying to
autodetect them it may fail.  This is a common problem on hpux, these
new math functions are not in the usual math library.

They are in /lib/pa1.1/libm.

I strongly recommend that you put

LPATH="/usr/local/lib:/lib/pa1.1:/usr/lib/pa1.1:/lib:/usr/lib"

in your environment.  Always!

The problem is that hp's cc (and also gcc) know about this, but
/bin/ld doesn't!
