compiling octave with gcc2.95.2 on solaris 2.5.1

[Alfredo Tomasini]

I am trying to compile octave2.0.16 on solaris 2.5 by using gcc2.95.2.

I got two errors releatd with the includes file, gethostname() and
getrusage() are not found.
in some way I manage to fix it but I just postpone the error to the
linker level. The linker is not finding the primitive.

 -lsocket is included, so I was not expecting a gethostname() error.

The original error is:

c++ -c  -I. -I.. -I../liboctave -I../src -I../libcruft/misc  -I../glob
-I../glob -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions
-fno-implicit-templates -g -O2 -Wall octave.cc
octave.cc: In function `void initialize_globals(const string &)':
octave.cc:209: implicit declaration of function `int gethostname(...)'

make[2]: *** [octave.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/lhome/tmp/octave-2.0.16/src'
make[1]: *** [src] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/lhome/tmp/octave-2.0.16'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Any suggestion ?

Alfredo
