Hi,

does anybody have one of the following packages up and running on
Linux-AXP (maybe compiled and statically linked under OSF/1)?

scilab-2.1.1:

problem: general compiling problems, mostly caused by
incompatible OSF/1 definitions, I suppose

octave-1.1.1:

problem: no c++ include files and libraries under Linux-Alpha

A problem concerning both packages is a missing f2c or g77 (compiling
fails due to 64-bit-pointer vs. 32-bit-int-problems); my workaround was
to execute f2c on an Intel box using rsh.

Both packages are told to run under OSF/1.

Regards, Ville
