error: dispatch

I recently compiled octave 2.1.57 and the latest octave-forge
(2004.02.12) on my Linux box (Red Hat 9, AMD processor).  gcc -v
reports:

Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.3/specs
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix
--disable-checking --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit
--host=i386-redhat-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-24)


When I start octave, I get the error message as shown below:

I compiled octave with:

./configure
make 
make check
make install

and octave-forge with:
./configure
make
make check
make icheck
make install

This is the first time I compiled so it is eniterly possible (likely
even) that I missed something.  I would appreciate a little direction in
tracking this down.

Many thanks.
