Re: Installation Problems on Yellow Dog Linux

[A S Hodel]

What version of octave did you try to install?  I have Octave 2.1.34 (I
think; at home right now) running on a mac Cube with YDL 2.0.  I seem to
recall having a problem like that with the CVS distribution, but just got
back from vacation and so haven't tracked it down.
