MkLinux. So close, yet...

[Paul Bergman]

I have gotten Octave 2.0.2 to compile and to run (sort of) on MkLinux.

The problem I am having is described by the following symptoms:

x = +1;                 // Works
x = -1;                 // Octave exits with no error message
x = [1, 2, 3, 4];       // Octave exits with no error message
x = [1, 2, 3, 4*pi/pi]; // Works

I used xxgdb and found the problem occuring somewhere in yyinput();

I started Octave with "octave -d" and compared "x = +1;" with 
"x = -1;".  The only difference was after evaluating "x = -1;" I got
the following:

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//Ending lines of output from Octave after typing in x = -1;
