[OctDev] Re: Regarding Octave

[Etienne G. <et...@cs...>]

  Hi,

if you use Debian Linux, it can be as simple as entering the commands

  apt-get install octave2.1

and octave-2.1 will be installed. I don't know how it works w/ other
linux distributions, but I think Red Hat and Suse have Octave binary
packages. This seems to be what is said on octave's download page 

  http://www.octave.org/download.html

You did read the 'binaries' section of that page, right? 

  For Windows -not my area of expertise- it points to cygwin and
octave-forge. In the later, at

  http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2888

I see a file called

  octave-2.1.50a-inst.exe

this *may* be a binary for octave itself. Hey! Someone on the list? Is
this an octave binary? Anyone who knows, please answer!

  Hth,

  Etienne
