Note that Octave needs at least umfpack 4.4 which is fairly recent or it
will refuse to use the umfpack libraries. You also need to have the AMD
libraries installed.. The easiest is to get the latest UFSparse package
rather than just umfpack and install that. UFSparse exists as both RPM
and DEB, and so installed from these package sources might be easier for
you.
