Name collisions

[Joern Villesen Christensen]

Hi

I work at the Technical University of Denmark, and we are investigating
the possibilities of offering Octave as an alternative math tool for our
students. Our system consists of a number of servers running Solaris 9, to
which the students has access through SunRay terminals.

I have downloaded Octave 2.1.57 and compiled it successfully on our
pre-installation server. It starts ok and all seems fine.

When I distributed the installation (with rsync) to our main servers, I
get a number of name collisions when I start Octave. It seems to start ok,
though...
