Re: Octave 3.2.2 for Ubuntu9.04 -- How to compile from sources

Is this going to affect the performance of octave somehow?
How do I leave them out? (I guess it has something to do with the
"./configure" command, but I would not know how to do it. I have tried
leaving out or including libraries before without success)

>  add: libftgl-dev libfltk-dev
How do I add these? (do they also have to do with "./configure"?) 

>   $ dpkg -i libqrupdate1_1.0.1-1_i386.deb libqrupdate-dev_1.0.1-1_i386.deb
I used the *amd64.deb version. I am guessing that there is no problem.

I got *Error*
After running 'make', I get the same "libcruft" error as before. By the way,
I had already installed the 'libqrupdate.so' library (downloaded it from
Karmic repositories, built it and copied to '/usr/lib/'), and I think that
'./configure' is using it (is this a problem?). I did this because I had
already installed libqrupdate1 and libqrupdate-dev before, but it kept
telling me that Octave would be slow with Cholesky.

Help please. I haven't been able to install Octave in Ubuntu. I already
tried in Windows, but I reaaaaaally don't want to use Windows. Help, please
