Re: Octave Wiki Page problem

[Markus Mützel]

I'm not using Fedora.
But maybe try installing their octave-devel package first.

On the other hand: If you are installing the parallel package that is 
distributed by Fedora, you likely don't need to install it again in Octave.
Did you try loading it with `pkg load parallel`?  What does `pkg list` in 
Octave return?
