Sorry for the wrong info.

I can remove or rename a currently loaded .oct file, but I get a
warning:

   rm: remove `hello.oct', overriding mode 0644?'

Of course, `rm -f' solves this. This is probably the reason that why
trying to recompile a loaded .oct file I get the error:

   [jcard] mkoctfile hello.cc 
   hello.oct: fatal error: cannot create output file

Thanks,
Joao

PS-no, I have not aliased `rm' to `rm -i'
