Compiling octave from repository fails

[Ole Jacob Hagen]

Hi, 

I am not able to compile repository version of Octave. 
I'm using Lenny (x64), and have updated libtool, autoconf, and automake. 
I have also installed gperf(3.0.3), bison(2.3) and lex (2.5.35).

I am  doing both sh autogen.sh, configure and make. But the compiler
complains about the macro definitions in lex.cc and octave.gperf. I have
tried the octave.gperf, lex.cc and y.tab.h from the octave-3.3.50 release,
but this ended up with a linking error in liboctinterp.so.

Error message is listed at the end of this post. 

Best regards, 

Ole J. Hagen
