Do these methods also work for octave-forge?
Gentle folks configured debian packages of octave forge, but I don't
know of similar work on RPMs so I am pretty sure that yum install
octave-forge won't work.
It is unfortunate that the various Linux distros are not sufficiently
compatible that a single package can be installed on all of them.
Wasn't this sort of compatibility one of the goals of the LSB?

Sorry to take this thread in more Linuxy direction, but I think it is
important to be aware of the Linux distro variations and how those
variations affect distribution of Octave.
