Re: Mkoctfile, need dynamic linking even for compiling a .cc file?

[Paul Kienzle]

Is this possibly because you don't have write permission
for the directory you are in [/doc/octave/examples]?  The
C example works because you are in one of your own
directories [~/cando].

Copy the oregonator.cc example somewhere in your
local path and try again.
