using gcc 3.3?

[Comment 2 Patrick Kursawe (RETIRED) 2003-07-21 05:24:20 UTC]

btw, of which octave version are you talking at all?

[Comment 3 Patrick Kursawe (RETIRED) 2003-08-05 00:00:48 UTC]

Jarek? Still alive and having a problem?

[Comment 4 Jarek Luberek 2003-08-05 17:20:03 UTC]

Ok, sorry for being quiet for so long and for posting such a poor bug report.
Anyway, there was only one version of octave in portage, 2.1.40.
The problem could have been gcc-3.3 related, I don't know since much time has passed between now and then. Now, I've successfully compiled octave with gcc-3.2.3  which means all is OK.

Thanks for replying... no, it doesn't mean it's ok because sooner or later gcc 3.3 will be the default compiler. Perhaps I'll find time to check this with the current version.

George, I vote for declaring .49 stable - it does not have this problem.

Hm, strange, why did I not see this bug earlier? I guess yet another "eaten" notification by bugzilla :(

Anyway, I do not see this problem here either and 2.1.49 is in stable on x86 already. I guess I'll just close this bug then.
