installation problems

[Rudiger Belch]

When I try to install octave on our computer, g++ fails to produce

                    ColVector.o and f-hess.o

Subsequent .cc files in the directories 

           octave-1.0/liboctave  and  octave-1.0/src  

are not translated as a result of it.


Could you please have a look at the otuput of the make command (sent
in a seperate mail) and let me know, what the problem is ... hopefully
we can solve it here.


A Summary of what I have done 
-----------------------------

1. We have neither f77 nor f2c, so I installed f2c in my private
   directory and told make to look for it at the right place.
     (Actually, You told me, how to do that.)

2. I obtained the files octave-1.0.tar and octave-doc-1.0.tar via
   xarchie and 'gunzip'ed + 'tar xfov'ed them ---> directory tave-doc-1.

3.  ./configure --prefix=/home/emu/rudi/Gnu 
   It complained, that it did not find libF77.a and libI77.a

4. I run:

make CFLAGS="-O -g -I$HOME/Gnu/include" \
     CXXFLAGS="-O -g -I$HOME/Gnu/include" LDFLAGS=-L$HOME/Gnu/lib  \
>&make.output 

Please
------

Have a look at it and tell me, what I can do to get Octave installed.

Thank you very much (for programming Octave and for your help).

The Error messages
------------------

I think, the essential bits of make's output arethe following. I send,
however the whole output of make as a seperate message.
