John, You're correct on all counts:
$ octave -q octave:1> octave_config_info("CXX_VERSION") ans = 3.3.6 If I run "mkoctfile -v hello.cc" and manually repeat the commands, using "g++-3.3" instead of "g++", running the generated .oct file succeeds. Along with the rest of the herd, I must have apt-get update'd to gcc version 4.0.2: $ g++ -v Using built-in specs. Target: i486-linux-gnu Configured with: ../src/configure -v --enable-languages=c,c++,java,f95,objc,ada,treelang --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --with-system-zlib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --enable-nls --without-included-gettext --enable-threads=posix --program-suffix=-4.0 --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-libstdcxx-allocator=mt --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-libstdcxx-debug --enable-java-gc=boehm --enable-java-awt=gtk --enable-gtk-cairo --with-java-home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-4.0-1.4.2.0/jre --enable-mpfr --disable-werror --enable-checking=release i486-linux-gnu Thread model: posix gcc version 4.0.2 20050821 (prerelease) (Debian 4.0.1-6) I see that you're holding off on recompiling Octave with gcc4.0.2 (#327027 - octave2.1: not installable in sid). Feel free to close/attach/whatever this bug report, since it looks like it'll shake out once 327027 is resolved. Thanks again, Graeme "John W.
