install problems - RH 8, octave-2.1.36, gcc 3.2

[Richard Morey]

I am trying to install octave 2.1.36 on a redhat 8.0 system with gcc
3.2. It configures fine, but when I run make it exits with the following
error:

g++ -c  -I. -I.. -I../liboctave -I../src -I../libcruft/misc  -I../glob
-I../glob -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -mieee-fp -g -O2 -Wall c-file-ptr-stream.cc -o
c-file-ptr-stream.o

I saw this error in a previous post,
http://www.octave.org/mailing-lists/help-octave/2002/609
but the solution, editing config.h, was unnecessary because the config.h
was already in the state which the poster suggested.

Also, I tried getting the CVS version, but there was no configure script
with it! Is that normal? I am new to the CVS thing.

Thanks,
Richard
