problem with f77 and symbol names

[Dave Alden]

Hi,
  I'm trying to compile Octave on Solaris 2.4 (using gcc/g++ 2.6.3,
libg++-2.6.2 and Sun's f77 3.0.1).  The problem I'm running into is
an old one, so I'm sure I'm doing something stupid.  :-)  The problem
is that "f77" adds an "_" to subroutine names (i.e., "ddot" becomes
"ddot_") -- needless to say, the linker doesn't find "ddot" then.  I
can create an include file redefining all of the routines, but I'm
hoping there's an easier way.
  To make up for this stupid question, I'd be willing to provide
binaries for Solaris 2.4 if there's any interest.
...thnx,
