In /usr/share/octave/2.1.57/site/m/octave-forge/graceplot/grace_octave_path.m, I see: __pl_grace_octave_path = /local/tmp/portage/octave-forge-2004.02.12/image//usr/share/octave/2.1.57/site/octave-forge-alternatives/m/graceplot"; Needless to say, this breaks the module ;-) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Found a fix, not yet in portage... maybe tomorrow.
Fix for 2004.11.16 is in portage now (-r1). 2004.02 still waiting, will have to use an older gcc to test this.

Most likely a problem with your gcc version. Will upgrade and try.
Patrizio, please try mkoctfile --print FLIBS If you don't see the paths to your gcc version there, you must recompile octave with the same gcc version you use to compile octave-forge.
Tried the old version with the same change to the ebuild (octave-forge-2004.11.16-r1), works as expected. Closing. If there are still problems, just let me know.
