RedHat Linux

[Mike Alder]

Hi,
I have downloaded what seems to be specified as LINUX
binaries. I found, after some misdirection, the install
instructions. This failed. I logged in as root and it
installed. Sort of. I moved to the /usr/local/bin directory
and there was an executable called octave. I typed `octave'
and got the message:

error: Segmentation fault -- stopping myself...
error: attempted clean up apparently failed -- aborting...
Aborted

So far all I seem to have accomplished is to clog up my
hard disk with a lot of files that don't do anything. 

The download was from your homepages. 

Any suggestions? (Other than buying MATLAB).
