Re: Octave 3.2.2 for Ubuntu9.04 -- How to compile from sources

[Judd Storrs]

Ok, new approach since the libcurl4-dev virtual packge isn't working for you maybe if you manually install the build dependencies you can skip the build-dep step.

I got the octave3.0_3.0.1-6ubuntu2.dsc from ubuntu ("apt-get source octave3.0"). These are the packages listed as build dependencies:

g++-4.1
gcc-4.1
gfortran
debhelper
autoconf
texinfo
texlive-latex-base
texlive-generic-recommended
libreadline5-dev
libncurses5-dev
gperf
libhdf5-serial-dev
libhdf5-lam-dev
libhdf5-mpich-dev
libblas-dev
liblapack-dev
gnuplot-nox
libfftw3-dev
texi2html
less
dpatch
slice
libpcre3-dev
flex
libglpk-dev
libsuitesparse-dev
gawk
ghostscript
libqhull-dev
desktop-file-utils

Also install:

libcurl4-gnutls-dev
libgraphicsmagick++1-dev
libfltk-dev
libarpack2-dev

Then try continuing from step 3
