octave-2.0.14 installation problem on Solaris 2.5.1

[Eran Kishon]

Hi all,

While trying to install octave-2.0.14 (first time) I receive the
following error in 
the "config.log" file:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
configure:5479: checking for sys_siglist declaration in signal.h or
unistd.h
configure:5517: checking for sys_siglist variable
configure:5526: gcc -o conftest -g -O2  -g conftest.c -ldl -lsocket -lm 
1>&5

; return 0; }
configure:5542: checking for type of signal functions

(I left on purpose 'good' results before and after the problem).

I tried to run 'make' inspite the sys_siglist problem but the
compilation crashed
(after a long time) with the following message:

My platform is a SUN sparcstation running solaris 2.5.1.
I use gcc 2.8.1 (built with g77).
I ran a ./configure using only the --prefix option.

Does anyone have a clue ???
