I'm not sure octave-forge connects to octave2.9 in Debian (it's not on
mine either); so: install octave2.1. (Isn't this a dependency of
octave-forge in Debian? I thought it was.) Then start it with
octave2.1
address@hidden:/tmp$ octave2.1 -q
octave2.1:1> symbols
octave2.1:2> x = sym ("x");
octave2.1:3> differentiate (Sin (x), x)
ans =
cos(x)
octave2.1:4>
