Install 2.1.73 on Mac OS X 10.4?

[Vic Norton]

I'm running the Octave 2.1.71 on my Mac now, the High Performance
Computing version <http://hpc.sourceforge.net/>. I'd like to install
version 2.1.73, but "./configure" concludes with
   checking size of short... configure: error: cannot compute
   sizeof   (short), 77

Does anyone know how to correct this problem? As far as I know the
latest versions of gcc4 and g77 are installed in my computer.

Thanks for your help.

Vic
