Hi Folks, This is maybe a little off-topic, but I'm hoping someone here has some morsels of knowledge.=20 I'm trying to build and install Octave on my FC4 machine, [root@localhost octave-2.1.72]# uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 #1 Thu Jun 2 22:55:56 EDT 200= 5 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux I've tried both the latest "development" version, 2.9.4, and the "testing" version, 2.1.72.

Whats-His-Name for that. I had previously learned that one has little or no chance of building what is now known as "open source" without doing _exactly_ what the instructions say. So, I did _exactly_ what was said--and very carefully, at that. Then, after a couple of days of misery I gave up. (As W. C. Fields said, "If at first you don't succeed try, try again. Then quit: there's no use being a damn fool about it.") A couple of years later, shortly after I got Linux going for the first of about twelve times, I decided to try again, thinking that building it on Linux would be fairly easy because Octave really was a Linux sortta thing at heart. (As Mr. Rogers would say, "Can you say 'configure'? Uh-huh, I thought ya' could.") Silly me: the build problems I had were even worse than on Windows. (Red Hat was having a bad day that build...) Perhaps Octave has gotten better since then, but I came away from my experience at that time thinking that although Matlab does considerable damage to one's wallet, it does far less damage to one's psyche. ;-) =g2 -- _____________________________________________________________________ Grant R.

Hi Randy, Octave 2.1.72 is included in Fedora Extras, so just install it from there. If you have YUM configured you can just do a yum install.
