| Hello,
| 
| I am having trouble trying to install Octave on a SGI Altix using the 
| intel 10.0.026 icc, ifort, and icpc compilers.
| 
| I am using the following options:
| 
| FC = ifort
| FFLAGS = -O3 -mp -ip -I/usr/local/include
| CC = icc
| CFLAGS = -O2 -mp -ip -I/usr/local/include
| CXX = icpc
| CXXFLAGS = -lstdc++ -O3 -mp -ip -I/usr/local/include
| LDFLAGS = -L/usr/local/lib
| 
| On execution of the following line: 
| 
| icpc -c  -fPIC -I. -I.. -I../liboctave -I../src -I../libcruft/misc 
| -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -Wall -W -Wshadow -Wold-style-cast -lstdc++ -O3 -mp -ip 
| -I/usr\
| /local/include ./DLD-FUNCTIONS/sort.cc -o pic/sort.o
| 
| I get the following error:
| 
| ../liboctave/oct-sort.cc(149): error: more than one operator "<" matches 
| these operands:^M
|             function "operator<(const octave_int<uint32_t={unsigned 
| int}> &, const octave_int<int8_t={signed char}> &)"^M
|             function "operator<(const octave_int<int8_t={signed char}>

|             function "operator<(const octave_int<uint32_t={unsigned

|             function "operator<(const octave_int<int16_t={short}> &, 
| const octave_int<uint32_t={unsigned int}> &)"^M
|             function "operator<(const octave_int<uint32_t={unsigned

| 
| 
| ... and many more lines like this one.
| 
| Looks like the intel compiler does not like the polymorphism of the
| Octave code.
| 
| Without actually having to go to change the code, do you any idea as

What version of Octave?  Is the error message trying to say thatthe
problem is on line 149 of sort.cc?  That's a blank line in the current
released version of Octave (3.0.0).
