Re: Octave error

[Diego Ruiz]

Hi Quentin,

I tried to install again Octave Forge by following the 
instructions you gave me some days ago and using the rpm files 
in your page. However, when installing I receive the following 
error message:

error: failed dependencies:
fftw3 is needed by octave-2.12.57-5
libfftw3.so.3 is needed by octave-2.1.57-5

It's quite extrange, because Octave is already running in my 
system.
Do you have a hint?

Thank you very much.
Diego
