Yep, 5 mins after clicking the "Send" button, Nabble search showed me
that thread. Murphy at work.

Indeed, I got the same cstring header problem (I had gcc 4.3.2) and I've
upgraded gcc to 4.4.0 but in the meantime my Madrivalinux got borked (I
suspect Archlinux wasn't too careful with mounting Mandriva partitions).
Again, Murphy at work :-(

I'll install Mandrivalinux 2010.1 and try again (with newer build tools)
to build octave-3.3.51.
Hopefully the contest.c errors will disappear, too.

Thank you,

Philip

I don't know about the tar.gz. If you are going through all the hassle to build Octave, you might as well prepare for the future and clone the hg (Mercurial) repository. Instead of downloading and deflating the tarball, clone the repo and run autogen.sh. Well worth the time learning.

imho of course,
David
