compile errors making octave-forge-2004-02-12

[Tom G. Smith (Smitty)]

In an attempt to fix several errors with octave, including one
in pinfo and another with delaunayn.m, I downloaded and did
./configure/make/make install on octave 2.1.57 with no problems.
But then when I attempted to install octave-forge, after bypassing
some compile errors by changing galois-def.h -

        bash-2.05b$ pwd;diff galois-def.h galois-def.h.d040526.t144544.root
        /contrib/octave/octave-forge-2004.02.12/main/comm
        309,312d308
        < #define TBM boolMatrix (1, 1, true)
        < #define FBM boolMatrix (1, 1, false)
        < #define NBM boolMatrix ()
        <
        319c315
        <   MM_CMP_OP1(mx_el_ne, !=, M1,   , M2,   , GR1, GR2, CHECK, TBM, FBM)
        ---
        >   MM_CMP_OP1(mx_el_ne, !=, M1,   , M2,   , GR1, GR2, CHECK, TBM, FBM) 
\

I redid the make, and got the same errors Greg Sharp did below:

Subject: Octave-forge build problem: Fstruct() multiple definition

Hi,

I'm trying to build octave-forge on linux, but I have
experienced
a build problem.  I am using:

Octave 2.1.57 (from tarball - built ok)
octave-forge-2004.02.12.tar.gz (from tarball)
gcc 3.2.3

After solving the problem with galois.cc (which is described
elsewhere), I get the build error described below.  I suspect
the octave-forge tarball is simply too old; is the CVS
version a good match for 2.1.57?

Thank you,
Greg
