RichardWhat distro do you use? Debian, Ubuntu or something else? Anyway in octave HP there described: Executable versions of Octave for GNU/Linux systems are provided by the individual distributions. Distributions known to package Octave include: Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, and SuSE. These packages are created by volunteers. The delay between an Octave source release and the availability of a package for a particular GNU/Linux distribution varies. The Octave project has no control over that process. Tatsuro
I use Mint Linux, which is based on Ubuntu, which is based on Debian. I have found ppa's to be useful while waiting for the official package repos to update. Actually I don't need it personally, I can just build from source, but for more casual users it's very helpful. I'm referring to the ppa apparently maintained at [1] by Mike Millar.
