[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#327509: octave2.1-headers: mkoctfile generates broken binaries ("undefined symbol: _ZNSs4_Rep20_S_empty_rep_storageE")

[Graeme Smecher]

Package: octave2.1-headers
Version: 2.1.71-2
Severity: important

mkoctfile no longer produces working .oct files. I've tried compiling
the hello.cc example:

    mkoctfile hello.cc

The mkoctfile command appears to succed. Then:

    $ octave -q
    octave:1> hello
    error: /home/gsmecher/click/halfband/hello.oct: undefined symbol:
    _ZNSs4_Rep20_S_empty_rep_storageE
    octave:1>

This happens with custom code that worked before (I suspect before the
ABI upgrade.)

Thanks,

Graeme
