Dec Alpha installation

[A. Scottedward Hodel]

A colleague is installing Octave-2.0.5 on a Dec Alpha and is unable to
complete compilation.  The symtoms are listed below; any tips on what to
do would be appreciated:
====================================================================

I've started over building octave: copied OCST-ss-970409.tar.gz into
into gnu/scripts, did configure, then make all.

It bombed in glob with:
make[2]: Entering directory `/S1/mooreom/octave-2.0.5/glob'
gcc -I. -I. -c \
      -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_MEMORY_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DHAVE_STRING_H=1 -DH

make[2]: *** [glob.o] Error 1


These GLOB_* are in glob.h, but I don't know what to do with this.

I looked at config.log and notice several failures like:

configure:3989: checking for quiet_nan in -lsunmath
configure:4008: gcc -o conftest -O2  -g conftest.c -lsunmath -lm  1>&5
as0: Warning: /tmp/ccaagjda.s, line 1: extraneous values on version stamp ignore
d
      .verstamp 3 11 2 7 2
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
/usr/bin/ld:
Can't locate file for: -lsunmath
configure: failed program was:
#line 3997 "configure"


I did a find on libsunmath.a and it wasn't found.  I don't know whether
this should be considered inportant or not.  I do know that library is.

The config.log is about 1000 lines long; I also have a typescript that
contains everything that went to the screen during config.
