Yes, I did, I even specifically compiled gcc 3.4.0 just for Octave as I
wanted to have my own optimised BLAS and ATLAS (I think it was called
that) :-P. Plain Octave does not error. The command returns:

        liboctinterp.so => /usr/local/lib/octave-2.1.57/liboctinterp.so
(0x40016000)
        liboctave.so => /usr/local/lib/octave-2.1.57/liboctave.so
(0x40421000)
        libcruft.so => /usr/local/lib/octave-2.1.57/libcruft.so (0x408c6000)
        libreadline.so.4 => /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4 (0x40dad000)
        libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x40dd2000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40e12000)
        libg2c.so.0 => /usr/local/gcc/lib/libg2c.so.0 (0x40e15000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40e32000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x40e54000)
        libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/local/gcc/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x40e5d000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40f2b000)
        libgpm.so.1 => /lib/libgpm.so.1 (0x4104e000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

/usr/lib/gcc_s.so.1 is not the old 2.95.3-gcc_s, but the 3.4.0-one,
despite it residing in the standard system directory. Anything
/usr/local/gcc-like is 3.4.0, the rest is 2.95.3.

What exactly does the error I get signify?


Kind regards,
Maarten
