Sorry; this was a rush job before they locked up the building.

Looks like that might be a winner.  See below.

This might be relevant:  The package I grabbed off of netlib claimed
to build the whole libf2c in one fell swoop rather than libI77 and
libF77. But it did seem to build a libf2c.a (not a libf2c.so) and
put it where it was supposed to in /usr/freeware/lib.  However...

I must really be losing it.  There was reams and reams of
config.log, and a bunch of other config.* files, but the only place I
could really find the "results" of confis was in the text of
octave-bug. Is this correct?  Anyway:

[snipping the top]

# Configuration:  these variables are filled in when running make to
# compile Octave.

config_opts="--prefix=/usr/freeware --enable-shared --enable-dl"
VERSION="2.0.9"
MACHINE="mips-sgi-irix6.2"
F77=""
FFLAGS=""
FPICFLAG=""
FLIBS=""
F2C="f2c"
F2CFLAGS=""
CPPFLAGS=""
INCFLAGS="-I/usr/freeware/include -I/usr/freeware/include/octave-2.0.9"
CC="gcc"

CXX="c++"
CXX_VERSION="2.7.2.2"
CXXFLAGS="-DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -fno-implicit-templates  -g -O2 -Wall"
CXXPICFLAG=""
LDFLAGS="-g"
LIBFLAGS="-L/usr/freeware/lib"
RLD_FLAG="-L/usr/freeware/lib"
CXXLIBS="-lsocket -lsun -lsocket -lsun -lstdc++ -lm 
-L/usr/gnu/lib/gcc-lib/mips-sgi-irix5.3/2.7.2.2 -L/usr/gnu/lib -lsocket -lsun 
-lstdc++ -lm -lgcc -lc -lgcc"
TERMLIBS="-lcurses"
LIBS=""
LEXLIB=""
LIBPLPLOT=""
LIBDLFCN=""

And then reams of symbols.  But I presume it's a very bad sign that
libf2c doesn't show up *anywhere* here; where should it have been?

Assuming that gets fixed, is it okay to have a libf2c.a when most of
the other libraries are libfoo.so and I asked for --enabled-shared?
In any case, I'll rebuild and install libf2c and see if that changes
my configuration and my luck.  

I guess I do find it weird that configure didn't spit out an 
obvious message like "Can't build octave without some kind of
usable fortran set-up, so don't even try."

(Configure'd symbol definitions follow, just in case they shed some
light.)
