Dear Giovanna1. Isn't Octave 3.0 available through Synaptic (or apt-get install octave)?
2. If you need/want to build Octave from sources, you'll need various "add on" libraries, for instance readline-dev (while ./configure complains that it can't find readline, it really complains about not finding readline-dev). To get all these "add on", try running the following in a terminal:
sudo apt-get build-dep octave (You'll need to enter the admin/root password) Then try again running ./configure. Also, take a look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4285971 Cheers Matthias On 13.02.2008, at 19:04, address@hidden wrote:
Hi, my name is Giovanna Guidoboni and I am an Assistant professor at the University of Houston. I am trying to install octave 3.0.0 on my Linuxmachine, but when I am running ./configure it fails because it is not able to find the path of GNU readline (which is available in /usr/local/ lib).I know that I should tell the program to look into that path, but I do notknow how to do. Can you please help me? I really appreciate your attention and you help, Best regards, Giovanna
