Hello,
You can easily compile Octave by following instructions given in
INSTALL file. After this you can create RPM package by using
checkinstall.

Hi Octave Experts
I was recently give some Matlab V5 Software which required Window 95
which is now obsolete. The Linux Group at Leicester University
suggested that I take a look at your Octave software which I did and
downloaded and decompressed the tar archive OK. I then considered
installing your Octave software but before doing so I decied to print
out and read the shell files involved such as CONFIGURE!! This file
took more than thirty pages of A4 to print and is such that I stand
no chance of understanding its contents. The build processes for
Octave seem to be very complex and involved and the instructions
given in your Install files have really put me off proceeding
further.
I am currently running the latest version of SuSe Linux on a standard
PC with dual Pentium II processors. There should be a binary version
of Octave available for such a configuration and I would be grateful
for your advice in locating and installing i without too much hastle.
Thanks
Dr Gerry Hooper
