Re: Compile error

[John E.Garrott Sr]

In the last post, I forgot to mention that
I was trying to compile octave-2.0.16.
Sorry.

Further developments.  Version 2.0.14 compiles,
installs, and runs.

2.0.15, 2.0.16 do not.  The offending line
is in sysdep.cc, line 64.  This was added
in the patch from 2.0.14-2.0.15.

By simply commenting it out, everything
seems to work.  However, I have difficulty
believing that the change was made for
no reason. 

Can anyone who knows what they're doing with
the code comment on this?  What are the
consequences of dropping this line?

Thanks in advance,

John
