Could you (or somebody else) be more specific about which versions 
Octave 3.4.3 should compile with?  I currently have a

address@hidden:~$ gcc --version | head -1
gcc_x86_64 (GCC) 4.6.2

address@hidden:~$ g++ --version | head -1
g++_x86_64 (GCC) 4.6.2

address@hidden:~$ gfortran --version | head -1
GNU Fortran (GCC) 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-51)

The gcc and g++ are a local (manual) install (not a Red Hat packaged 
version), the gfortran appears to be the one installed by the package 
management system...  Now that I think of it... could this be causing my 
compile problems???

Pascal, thanks... but there was no enclosed shell script attached to 
your mail...
