RE: error: dispatch

[David Pruitt]

I recompiled all the code and looked carefully through the output at every step.
The problem occurred during the make of octave-forge.  galois.cc was not
compiling, the make stopped and a whole bunch of stuff was left uncompiled.
Then I found a note in bug-octave that indicated a work around for the problem
(undefined TBM, FBM, NBM in galois-def.h - see
http://www.octave.org/octave-lists/archive/bug-octave.2004/msg00192.html).  I
wasn't able to clearly understand the suggested 'quick fix'.  I added the lines:

#define TBM boolMatrix (1, 1, true)
#define FBM boolMatrix (1, 1, false)
#define NBM boolMatrix ()

to galois-def.h that introduced the needed references. Is that correct?

The compile and install went smoothly after that.  I haven't tested things very
hard, but it appears that octave is now working well.

Subject: error: dispatch

I recently compiled octave 2.1.57 and the latest octave-forge
(2004.02.12) on my Linux box (Red Hat 9, AMD processor).  gcc -v
reports:

Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.3/specs
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix

--host=i386-redhat-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-24)


When I start octave, I get the error message as shown below:

I compiled octave with:

./configure
make 
make check
make install

and octave-forge with:
./configure
make
make check
make icheck
make install

This is the first time I compiled so it is eniterly possible (likely
even) that I missed something.  I would appreciate a little direction in
tracking this down.

Many thanks.
