Problems linking octave 2.0.16 under RedHat Linux 6.1

[Jeff Silverman]

Hi.  I am trying to build Octave 2.0.16 on an Intel RedHat Linux 6.1 machine.  
It seems to go through configure with no problems, and it compiles fine, but 
when it loads, it fails.

make[2]: Entering directory `/s0/src/octave/octave-2.0.16/src'

.

I have done some fgreps of the subdirectories, but I haven't found any source 
code that references these names (I have found lots of binaries, howeaver).

I have also found these strings in:

fgrep default_alloc_template /lib/* /usr/lib/*
Binary file /usr/lib/libkab.so.2.0.0 matches
Binary file /usr/lib/libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0.a matches
Binary file /usr/lib/libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0.so matches
Binary file /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.a.2 matches
Binary file /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 matches
Binary file /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8 matches
Binary file /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8.0 matches

I created LD_LIBRARY_PATH and set it to /lib:/usr/lib but that doesn't change 
the outcome.

I have found these strings using altavista, but they are bug reports for Debian.

Please, Can anybody offer me some helpful advice?

I have

gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)

Many thanks.
