Bug in octave packages for FC4?

[Marcus Vinicius Eiffle Duarte]

Hello, folks!

I am not quite sure if this is the right place to ask, so forgive me
in case it is not.

I am running Fedora Core 4 on a Pentium 4 2.4GHz with 2 Gb RAM. Today
(2005-08-04) I upgraded Octave and Octave-devel via "yum update". The
packages now installed are octave-2.1.71-14.fc4.i386.rpm and
octave-devel-2.1.71-14.fc4.i386.rpm from the "extras" repository. The
octave-forge was not upgraded, being version 2005-06-13, release
06.fc4.

After I upgraded, I keep getting panic segmentation folks when running
simple commands, as "help" or "plot(linspace(1,10))". Simple
instructions as "x=1" do not yield errors, but I can't run any of my
scripts.

Has anyone using FC4 found the same behavior? Does anyone know how to
contact the package maintainer?

Tanks in advance,

Marcus Vinicius
