Hello,

I need help in installing octave packages in Suse 11.1 (64-bit)

while trying to do


pkg install miscellaneous-1.0.9.tar.gz

I am getting the following error

================================================

Could you please any one help me in this.

Thanks in advance

| On suse, the linux/limits.h file comes with kernel headers.

I would be really surprised if it is necessary to have the kernel

headers package installed to build Octave.
