Thanks for the info. I have no idea why the binary is static. I'll look
into the build and see what I can find.
When it was first reported that octave.bin could not load symbols, I
started looking into it. I can only get several pages into the help
screens before the program seg faults. I have e-mailed the upstream
maintainer about this. His response was: "I don't know anything about
Linux or ELF." He seems to be busy with the new release and unwilling to
be diverted to other problems at the moment, so I guess it's up to me to
figure this out. Any pointers from your end will be gratefully appreciated.
Later,
