Octave for Raspberry-Pi Microcontroller/Computer

[randomvibe]

Raspberry-Pi (or just R-Pi) is a very cheap single board computer ($25 USD)
with general purpose inputs & outputs for embedded system purposes like
Ardunio.  The maker provides Linux distributions (Debian and Arch Linux ARM
distributions) with a Python compiler.  Question... has the Octave community
tried installing Octave on the R-Pi?  Or for the Beaglebone system?  I
believe Octave (like Matlab) is the ultimate scientific/engineering
programming language, especially for matrix operations and embedded systems. 
Arduino is the most popular microcontroller at the moment, but requires C
programming.  

Someone in the R-Pi community claims to have installed Octave, but no
details given (see thread below).  Help would be much appreciated.  Thank
you.
