It seems that you have the experimental libstdc++.so.7 installed.
Perhaps some part of the octave use the (stable) libstdc++.so.6.0.8 and
some use the experimental library. You can try to remove the
experimental library with:
rpm -e libstdc++so7
and recompile octave. Since you are new to Linux, you find it probably
easier to install the pre-compiled octave package included in Fedora extras:
Alex,
Thanks for your suggestion.
I removed the libstdc++so7 package and then started all over with a
fresh un-tarred directory, executing
./configure
make
make check
Unfortunately, I again had the same problem, with the output as shown:
src/DLD-FUNCTIONS/cellfun.cc ........................... PASS 2/2
src/DLD-FUNCTIONS/conv2.cc ............................. PASS 1/1
src/DLD-FUNCTIONS/dispatch.cc .......................... PASS 13/13
src/DLD-FUNCTIONS/luinc.cc .............................panic:
Segmentation fault -- stopping myself...
make[2]: *** [check] Segmentation fault
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/bob/downloads/octave-2.9.6/test'
make[1]: *** [check] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/bob/downloads/octave-2.9.6'
make: *** [check] Error 2
I am not sure what is going on; I have not had this problem with other
builds. (Notice that I did the 'make check' before doing a 'make
install'. I assume this is OK since I did not want to mess up my working
version of Octave.)
Fedora includes currently octave version 2.9.5.
Yes, I know. I have been experimenting with it, but I really wanted to
complete a successful build - just to make sure I know I am doing.
Apparently, I do NOT know what I am doing, so I guess I will just have
to move on to other things.
Thanks very much for your help. If you do have any other suggestions, I
would certainly welcome them.

Bob,
Please keep the discussion on octave-help mailing list.
I'm also using octave-2.9.6 on FC5 (but x86_64 not i386). I didn't run
"make check" when I installed octave-2.9.6, but now after a "make
check" I'm seeing the error in luinc.cc that you described as well. It
seems to be related to the fact that UMFPACK is not installed:
octave:1> a=sparse([1,2,0,0;0,1,2,0;1e-14,0,3,0;0,0,0,1]);
octave:2> [l,u]=luinc(a,1e-10);
error: UMFPACK not installed
panic: Segmentation fault -- stopping myself...
attempting to save variables to `octave-core'...
save to `octave-core' complete
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Probably luinc should only be compiled if UMFPACK is installed. I
copied David ( author of luinc.cc) in Cc to see what he thinks.
