Error compiling todays CVS on Linux with sparse libraries installed

[Alex Zvoleff]

While compiling today's CVS, I get the following error, similar to that
mentioned earlier by Tom Holroyd.  I am running Ubuntu Edgy, with
libufsparse 1.2.7 from the Ubuntu repository, and gnuplot 4.2 rc4
compiled from the source.
