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.
