Adding the folder /usr/local/include/octave-3.6.1 manually avoids the
first error, but new ones appear

/bin/mkdir -p /usr/local/share/octave/3.6.1/m/startup
/bin/mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/share/octave/3.6.1':
No such file or directory

Is this a problem with the installation file sin the tar.gz file or is
something in my system?
Has anybody tried to install (in Linux, particularly Ubuntu 10.10)
using the tar file from the website?
I tried installing from the repo, but it fails to compile (I am trying
to find the prob)
What else can I try?

Thanks
