Problem compiling Octave on Mandrake 8.0

[Benoit Pelletier]

Hello,

I am having difficulty compiling Octave under linux mandrake 8.0.  I
believe I have all the libraries necessary, and the error seems to be
coming from Octave's readline; here is the part that causes me trouble:

making all in liboctave
cd liboctave ; make all
make[2]: Entering directory
`/home/bpelle/tmp/download/octave-2.0.16/liboctave'
c++ -c  -I. -I.. -I../liboctave -I../src -I../libcruft/misc  -I../glob
-I../glob -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -mieee-fp -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions
-fno-implicit-templates -g -O2 -Wall cmd-hist.cc
cmd-hist.cc: In method `command_history::command_history (const string
&, int)':
../readline/history.h:161: too many arguments to function `int
read_history ()'
cmd-hist.cc:69: at this point in file
cmd-hist.cc: In method `void command_history::add (const string &)':
../readline/history.h:71: too many arguments to function `void
add_history ()'
cmd-hist.cc:132: at this point in file

and I get many more errors like this.

Anyone has an idea of what's wrong?

Thanks,
