Segmentation fault. Libraries seem to be OK. What now?

[Jeroen Schaap]

Hi

I've a small linux-box and really like to install octave.
It's a 468-dx50 with 8 meg internal memory. A little bit too small to 
compile octave. Yes, I know that i could add a swapfile, but if the 
binaries could run that would be fine to me.

I got me this file from che.wisc.edu:
   octave-2.0.13-i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1.tar.gz
Ran sh ./install-octave
It installed...
But trying to run it results in this:
   error: Segmentation fault -- stopping myself...
   error: attempted clean up apparently failed -- aborting...
   IOT trap/Abort (core dumped)

I asked in the local newsgroup... they said to check the libraries, since 
it was a point in the readme/install's... so:
rulffh:/usr/local/src# ldd /usr/local/bin/octave
        liboctinterp.so => /usr/local/lib/octave-2.0.13/liboctinterp.so
        liboctave.so => /usr/local/lib/octave-2.0.13/liboctave.so
        libcruft.so => /usr/local/lib/octave-2.0.13/libcruft.so
        libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5.0.9
        libncurses.so.3.0 => /lib/libncurses.so.3.0
        libdl.so.1 => /lib/libdl.so.1.8.2
        libstdc++.so.27 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.27.1.4
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.4.44
seems to be OK. A little bit strange that the libstdc++ points to .27 
since I have .2.8.0: ( i guess .27 means 2.7.....
rulffh:/usr/local/src# ls /usr/lib/libst*
/usr/lib/libstdc++.a           /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8.0*
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so@         /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.27@
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8@     /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.27.1.4*

So is there a way to get octave linking to the 2.8 libs? Or could i try 
relinking so.27 to so.2.8.0?

Thanks!!
