I have downloaded the rpm binary for octave 2.0.13

ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/conectiva/3.0/i386/conectiva/RPMS/
octave-2.0.13-3cl.i386.rpm

I have installed it on a RedHat Linux 5.2 machine. Octave seems to work
ONLY for user 'root'. (At least I am able to get in, help -i, and do
simple arithmetic, etc. and quit safely :)

However, when invoked from a normal user, it quits after "Segmentation
fault (core dumped)". What could be the reason?
