Re: help_install octave

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello

The version of octave from the Ubuntu software center is 3.2.4 on Ubuntu 11.10.
If  you want to install, octave-3.4.3. You have build it by yourself.

Use the synapatic package manager to install dependency development kits and 
execute usual way build from source.

For build from source, you can find,
http://www.octave.org/wiki/index.php?title=Build_from_source
 
For me a half day work around make it possible to build.

Good luck
