octave-forge's rand.oct did not compile

[Mike Miller]

I'm not sure how much information you need.  I am using Red Hat and 
working from the octave-forge-2005.06.13.  I want randp to work but I 
guess it is a symlink to octave-forge's rand.oct, which is missing.  When 
I try to compile octave-forge, I see this:

rand.cc: In function `octave_value do_seed(octave_value_list)':
rand.cc:48: syntax error before `=' token
rand.cc:61: syntax error before `[' token
rand.cc:82: syntax error before `=' token
rand.cc:93: syntax error before `[' token
rand.cc:95: syntax error before `(' token
make[1]: *** [rand.oct] Error 1

What else would you need to know to give me some idea of hot to proceed to 
get this working?

How does poisson_rnd compare with randp in terms of speed?

Thanks in advance.

Mike
