Does ...

       apt-get build-dep octave3.2

... include gfortran? If so, then run that command (it will not install Octave, but will install the packages Octave requires to build and run).

Ben

I did a pkg -S /usr/bin/f77 and it says "dpkg: /usr/bin/f77 not found."

So I'm not sure why it's coming back with this error message?

Cannot open file debug.h

/usr/bin/f77: aborting compilation

make[2]: *** [arpack/src/libcruft_la-cgetv0.lo] Error 1

make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/ubu32sc/Downloads/octave-3.4.2/libcruft'

make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ubu32sc/Downloads/octave-3.4.2'

make: *** [install] Error 2

And I checked and gfortran is installed, but it's not using it it's trying to use the f77 one how can I change this so I can get octave 3.4.2 to compile and not use the f77 compiler?

Thanks
