[OctDev] Error : "not a valid shared library"

[Etienne G. <et...@is...>]

  Hello,

I am having a problem w/ my octave-forge installation (from cvs) and
am asking for advice, siggestions & tips.

  I installed octave-2.1.38 from source this morning. Compilers are
(exported environment variables) CC=gcc-3.0, CXX=g++-3.0 and
F77=g77-3.0.

       make clean ; ./configure ; make 

  When make failed with a problem in fsolve.cc, I "fixed" it with

    cp FIXES/kron.oct FIXES/fsolve.oct
  
  and then make worked.

  Then I start octave and put my octave-forge cvs tree in the search
path and check about an oct-file defined in octave-forge : 

octave:2> which leval
error: /home/etienne/prog/octave/octave-forge/octave-forge/main/optim/leval.oct is not a valid shared libr
which: `leval' is undefined

  Same for other .oct files (bitor, delaunayn, getfield ...).

  I had the same problem with gcc-2.95 (and corresponding g++ and
f77).

  Linux is Debian 3.0

  Any ideas on what the problem is?

  Etienne
