Re: trouble installing octave (version 3.4.2) on ubuntu linux 11.04

Dear John,
after changing the compiler to gfortran the compilation has run long time, until generating the following error:

Unfortunately I do not have a complete copy of the log, I can generate it if it can be useful.ù
Thank you again,

 ./configure F77=gfortran ...
