I have solved my problem with scatter3. After some fiddling I have managed  
to a fedora 14 rpm of octave-3.4 and installed that, and now scatter3  
works as it should.
That has introduced a new problem, I can't install the octave-forge  
package.
It baulks with the following message...

octave-forge-20090607-17.fc14.x86_64 requires liboctinterp.so()(64bit)
octave-forge-20090607-17.fc14.x86_64 requires liboctave.so()(64bit)
octave-forge-20090607-17.fc14.x86_64 requires libcruft.so()(64bit)

Of course these libs are present, but in /usr/lib64/octave/3.4.0
I have tried all the tricks I know to convince the system that the libs  
are present, including placing symbolic links in /usr/lib64 and then  
running ldconfig, but that didn't work. I also added  
/usr/lib64/octave/3.4.0 to LD_LIBRARY_PATH in my .bashrc file, again with  
no success.
At this point I have exhausted my knowledge of how to get the package  
manager to recognise the libs are present and install octave-forge.

Any help gratefully received.

Cheers,
