Re: Upgrading octave version

[asha g]

Dear Jordi and Quentin,
Thanks for your suggestions. I am visiting the Indian
Institute of science in Bangalore for some months and
am using their common terminals which have RHEL4. I am
not sure if they will download RHEL5 for me. I can
check with the system administrator after the weekend.
How do you compile all the other packages yourself? I
have never done this.
Thanks
