Failure to compile Octave 3.0.2 on AIX 5.3

[Alisdair Tullo]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile Octave 3.0.2 on AIX 5.3.

I used the following configure options:

./configure
CC="xlc -q64"
CFLAGS="-O -qstrict"
CXX="xlC -q64"
CXXFLAGS="-O -qrtti=all -qstrict"
CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/fftw/fftw3_64/include
-I/build/readline/include"
LDFLAGS="-L/opt/fftw/fftw3_64/lib
-L/build/readline/lib -L/usr/local/lib
-L/build/octave-3.0.2/libcruft
-L/build/octave-3.0.2/liboctave -lld -llapack"
AR="ar -X64"
--disable-shared --disable-dl
--enable-static
--enable-readline --prefix=/build/octave
--with-blas=essl --with-lapack=essl
--without-umfpack
--without-colamd
--without-ccolamd --without-cholmod
--without-cxsparse

and on what is seemingly the final link step:

xlC -q64 -I/opt/fftw/fftw3_64/include
-I/build/readline/include -I. -I.. -I../liboctave
-I../src -I../libcruft/misc  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H   -O -qrtti=all -qstrict  \

I get these link errors:

ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .mx_el_or(const double&,const 
SparseBoolMatrix&)
ld: 0711-345 Use the -bloadmap or -bnoquiet option to obtain more information.

-bnoquiet provides a little more info but nothing that looks useful to
me -- output appended below.

I added the explicit -L/build/octave-3.0.2/libcruft
-L/build/octave-3.0.2/liboctave in case this was some link problem
with liboctave/libcruft, but it hasn't had any effect.

I've posted here first because I'm unsure if this is a problem of my making or 
a bug.

Thanks in advance for any help -- I realise AIX is not the most common of 
platforms, but even general advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Alisdair
