The answer to your question is in your Email:


"

/usr/bin/octave: error while loading shared libraries:
libhdf5.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
"

- you need to install an RPm with HDF5 library. And apparently
'octave' RPM packagers forgot to include the missing RPM as a
dependency.

  Sergei.
