No problems at all--"yum install octave" should do everything for you. 
There were some recent threads on installing a version of octave that 
was compiled for Fedora Core 3 on Red Hat Enterprise Workstation. It 
turns out it worked, but involved updating a lot of things, including 
the C libraries--and there was the problem of the user having two 
octaves installed at the same time (one from source, one from the binary 
package). I've been using octave on FC4 since shortly after FC4 was 
released with no problems.
