| *
| *    g++ (3.2.x or a more recent version)

| *    flex (2.5.4 or a more recent version) -- required if

| *
| *    bison (1.31 or a more recent version) -- required if
| *    you need to recreate parse.cc from parse.y
| *
| *    gperf (3.0.1 or a more recent version) -- required if
| *    you need to recreate oct-gperf.h from octave.gperf

| *  Now would be a good time to read INSTALL.OCTAVE if

| The error vanishes if I install gsed and re-run configure.

I checked in the following change.
