Compiling Octave for MacOS X

[Harald Binder]

Hi,

I'm still (see my last message) trying to compile Octave for MacOS X.
I got pretty far (I think all the librarys compile) up to this point
...
make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
echo making all in liboctave
making all in liboctave
cd liboctave ; make all
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 Array-C.cc
Array2-idx.h: In function `int assign<Complex, Complex>(Array2<complex<double> 
> &, const Array2<complex<double> > &)':
Array-C.cc:47:   instantiated from here
Array2-idx.h:694: Internal compiler error.
Array2-idx.h:694: Please submit a full bug report via the

Does anybody know what could be the reason that the compiler gets such 
confused? Is there a workaround? Would there exist the possibility to 
cross-compile the code on an other machine?
I must confess, that I am no C++ programmer...

By the way: The cc compiler identifies itself this way:
root# cc -v
Reading specs from /usr/libexec/ppc/2.95.2/specs
Apple Computer, Inc. version cc-796.3, based on gcc driver version 2.7.2.1 
executing gcc version 2.95.2

Can anybody help me?
That would be really very nice because it is rather frustrating to be stuck so 
near (I believe) to the successful build :-(

Thank you,

Harald
