Hello Nasser,
I am new to Linux and new to Octave, but I wanted to try out your program.
I downloaded the ode package and tried to install it but got this error...
octave:1> pkg install odepkg-0.8.2.tar.gz
./configure: line 2748: /usr/bin/mkoctfile-3.4.3: No such file or directory
configure: error: Could not run /usr/bin/mkoctfile-3.4.3
the configure script returned the following error: checking for gcc... gcc

I looked on http://octave.sourceforge.net/packages.php for the package
mkoctfile but didn't find it listed.
Where do I find this package?
mkoctfile is part of octave. But depending on how you got your octave version, you may need to install additional packages. The mkoctfile utility would typically be part of the devel package of octave. Make sure you have it installed. Also if you're installing octave using your distro package manager, there's a high probability that odepkg is also available from there as well.
