Compile Octave: One error and one question

[Javier Arantegui]

Hello,

First the error, and then the question.

I got this error trying to compile Octave 2.9.3:

g++  -I. -I.. -I../liboctave -I../src -I../libcruft/misc  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H 
-mieee                 -fp -Wall -W -Wshadow -g -O2 -rdynamic \

* My PC is a 1 GHz AMD CPU, 256 Mb RAM
* My distribution is a SUSE 9.2. 
* gcc (GCC) 3.3.4 (pre 3.3.5 20040809)
* To compile Octave I did:
./configure --enable-shared --disable-static
make

Any idea about what's wrong? Do you need more information?


I think that this is one of the silliest question about compiling a program, 
but I'm clueless. When I compile a program (./ configure && make), is the new 
binary CPU specific? I mean ./configure says my CPU is a i686, could I use 
compiled version of Octave in a PC with a i586? 

Thanks,

Javier
