Installation problem, Solaris

[Eric Evans]

Hello,

I'm having a problem trying to get Octave to install on a machine running 
Solaris 8, with gcc 3.0 and GNU make 3.79.1.  I get compile errors in the 
module oct-cmplx.h.  Here is some of the console output from the 
installation process:

I am new to Octave and don't know what kinds of problems to expect in the 
installation process, or how to deal with them.  Does anyone have any 
suggestions?  Thanks very much.
