Installing octave on Linux

[Martin Rosenberger]

Hello!

I did install octave 2.1.71 and octave-forge-2005.06.13 successfully on
windows OP using cygwin. I did some tests executing a matlab routine
with plenty of m.files

The next step was to install octave 2.1.71 and octave-forge-2005.06.13
on a linux Cluster.

I got some trouble.

When starting octave the first error message was:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

error: 

/usr/local/libexec/octave/2.1.71/site/oct/i686-pc-linux-gnu/octave-forge
/dispatch.oct 
is not a valid shared library
error: `dispatch' undefined near line 2 column 1
error: near line 2 of file 

`/usr/local/share/octave/2.1.71/site/m/octave-forge/comm//PKG_ADD'
error: source: error sourcing file 

`/usr/local/share/octave/2.1.71/site/m/octave-forge/comm//PKG_ADD'

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

When executing my matlab routine with a lot of m-files the next message
occurs:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

error: 

/usr/local/libexec/octave/2.1.71/site/oct/i686-pc-linux-gnu/octave-forge
/pchip_deriv.o

ct is not a valid shared library
error: `pchip_deriv' undefined near line 74 column 7
error: evaluating assignment expression near line 74, column 5
error: called from `pchip' in file 

`/usr/local/share/octave/2.1.71/site/m/octave-forge/splines/pchip.m'
error: evaluating assignment expression near line 143, column 17
error: evaluating if command near line 112, column 3
error: called from `interp1' in file 

`/usr/local/share/octave/2.1.71/site/m/octave-forge/general/interp1.m'
error: evaluating assignment expression near line 286, column 17
error: called from `InitFZGL' in file
`/home/rosenberger/OPT/Init/InitFZGL.m'
error: near line 45 of file `/home/rosenberger/OPT/CalcSingle.m'

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Another problem was, that I always get error-messages when there is a
statement to execute in .octaverc, no matter what statement it is

e. g.:
error: near line 32 of file `/home/rosenberger/.octaverc'

the .octaverc file ist attached


I do not know lot of linux, so if you have some information to give,
please give it in detail

Thank you
Martin

P. S.: simple calculations are working within octave
