Re: Octave Installation problems

[Soren Hauberg]

Hi Gerald
I haven't used suse in a couple of years, but if I remember correctly 
you can just open yast, find octave and install it. Should only take a 
couple of minutes. You might want to install octave-forge while you're 
at it.

Good luck and merry christmas (if you're into that kind of thing)
