Hi Bobby,
you can do without the -forge option: this just gets the package automatically
from the internet. Instead, just get it from http://octave.sf.net (the
financial package) and start octave from the command line from the directory
where you have saved the downloaded package. From the 'octave>' prompt you can
do:
pkg install "./financial-0.3.2.tar.gz"
hope this works.
Otherwise to install the 3.6 version of octave, just download the .tar.gz file,
uncompress it and install it in your home directory.
mkdir ~/src
cd ~/src
mv ~/Downloads/octave.XXXXXXX.tar.gz .
tar xvzf octave.XXXXXX.tar.gz
./configure --prefix=$HOME
(if it complains about (critical) missing libraries, use synaptic package
manager to search for the libraries/header files and install them or google).
make
make install
BE AWARE: this installation can easily take an hour to finish...
This will install your own octave executable, beside the standard ubuntu
version. If you want to --always-use-- your own version, add this to your
$HOME/.bash_profile or $HOME/.bashrc:
export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
