error: memory exhausted or requested size too large

Hi all,

Get this error:

Octave successfully built.  Now choose from the following:

   ./run-octave    - to run in place to test before installing
   make check      - to run the tests
   make install    - to install

gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/export/home/langston/Octave/NEW/octave-3.0.1'
bash-3.2$ gmake check
gmake -f octMakefile check
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/export/home/langston/Octave/NEW/octave-3.0.1'
gmake -C test check
gmake[2]: Entering directory

../run-octave --norc --silent --no-history ./fntests.m .
error: memory exhausted or requested size too large for range of 
Octave's index type -- execution of ./fntests.m failed

gmake[2]: Leaving directory

gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/export/home/langston/Octave/NEW/octave-3.0.1'
bash-3.2$


I looked through other threads but this seems different because all I 
did was build Octave 3.0.1 and
the tried to run the check.

Any thoughts?

I'm on a 5G system w/ 12G swap

Thanks,

Jim
