Octave Make failure

[Thomas Charron]

  This will sound farfetched, but...

  Try:

./configure --with-f77=gfortran

  GNU f77, which octave will use by default, is not supported by the
4.1 branch of gcc.  But gfortran is.  It's probrably trying to bring
in the 3.4.6 stuff because f77 is in there.  Aka, there's nothing
wrong with your system, the configure script is pulling them in
*intentionally*.
