Re: Error compiling Octave-3.4.1 on Ubuntu-10.04-LTS

Thanks!  Yes, using gfortran helps.

Also, I am able to compile after modifying 'configure' file a bit and after 
disabling the 'doc' component.  I will check those with the dev source and 
then possibly propose some discussions to the maintenance list.

I don't know what /usr/bin/f77 is, but I think you want to use
gfortran instead.
