Yes, that's what I did.  Thanks for telling me about fink selfupdate. 
I followed the advice that came up when I ran it, installing
cc1plus_12,  and now the errors have gone away and octave is running. 
I wonder if it would be possible to make the error messages suggest
fink selfupdate in the situation I encountered.

Cheers,
Issac
