Octave2.9.6 error while compliling

[Jayshankar Dubey]

My System : P-III 800, Slackware Based linux (Vector Linux SOHO 5.1.1)

gcc version 3.3.4

Using octave-2.9.6 downloaded from octave home page when I do :

./configure --enable-shared --enable-dl -enable-lite-kernel --without-blas
make

It gives error like this :

dynamic-ld.cc: In member function `bool octave_dynamic_loader::do_load(const
 std::string&, const std::string&)':
dynamic-ld.cc:268: error: ISO C++ forbids casting between pointer-to-function
 and pointer-to-object
make[2]: *** [pic/dynamic-ld.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/dubey/octave-2.9.6/src'


similar message also for other file also.

Kindly suggest how to proceed?

Thanks
