embedding octave - floating point exception

[Marco Driusso]

Hello,
I'm embedding the octave interpreter in a c++ program. I convert my c++
variables to strings to pass them to octave (using the eval_string function
like explained in the octave_embed.tar.gz example) and I take them back
writing a file from octave and reading it from c++.
I have to use the gcc compiler and not the mkoctfile (like is done the
example) because I'm embedding octave in a big program that has an huge
Makefile, so what I do is just to modify this makefile adding the needed
libs.
Once compiled and linked (no problems doing that), I run my program and just
after called the octave_main(int argc, char*[]argv,int embedded) function I
have a floating point exception.
In the octave manual I read that if octave crashes immediately with a
floating point exception it could be that octave fail to initialize  the
IEEE floating point values for infinity and NaN.
But octave run correctly on my system, I've not such error when I run it
normally from a shell.
Does anyone have an idea to solve this problem?

Thanks a lot!
Marco
