        What is the latest version Octave 0.* that compiles using gcc 
2.4.5 OR the libg++ version earlier then 2.5.3?

        As I have spent much bandwith on back and forth with JWE on, I 
can't get libg++-2.5.3 to compile on FreeBSD due to grave unhappiness 
occuring in streambuf,h

        ALSO, what am i missing out on running 0.73 as opposed to 1.0 ?

                        tnx
