Problems compiling Octave 2.1.73 on SGI IRIX 6.5 using gcc 3.3

[Burton, Ian]

I am trying to get Octave 2.1.73 compiled on an SGI Octane running IRIX 6.5.15.  I am using gcc 3.3 and the configure script and gmake.  The compiliation process fails under gmake when compiling ~/octave-2.1.73/libcruft/misc/quit.cc where g++ finds several undeclared items in cstdlib.  The following is the output from gmake at the offending point:

 

gmake[3]: Entering directory `/usr/people/burtoni/octave-2.1.73/libcruft/misc'

g++ -c  -I. -I../.. -I../../liboctave -I../../src -I../../libcruft/misc  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -Wall -W -Wshadow -g -O2 quit.cc -o quit.o

Could this be a problem with gcc 3.3?  Is there another file I can include to get around this?  I have gone through the archives and I can’t find anything similar to this problem so I figure it must be something trivial that I have done. 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Ian.
