I think it is highly unlikely that this is a bug in Octave.  Most
likely it is a problem with the compiler installation on your system.

I already posted my best guess, but I'll repeat it here:

  Octave doesn't refer to __cxa_get_exception_ptr directly, so I have
  to assume a compiler problem.

  Is it possible that you are mixing libstdc++ versions somehow?  Is
  one of the libraries you are linking with linked to a version of
  libstdc++ that is different from the one GCC 3.4.6 expects (I'm
  guessing the version based on the message above)?


I have one additional question and that's why are you using such an
old version of GCC?
