Octave 3.0 not in repos

[thisismalhotra]

Hey All,

I was trying to install Octave 3.0 the latest version through synaptic but it only shows 2.1 and 2.9. ANY CLUES??

Do I have to build it from source, if yes, has anybody done that, what are the depedencies and how to build it... instrauctions needed :confused:

Thanks

Of course, it is a version quite recent, released in December, so it cannot be in the official Ubuntu Gutsy repositories, which was released in October. No new versions of programs are added, just security updates and fixes.

You will have to build it from source. The configure script should tell you if anything is missing.

As said previously Octave 3.0 won't be in Gutsy. Right now we're trying to figure out what to do with Octave 3 for Hardy (8.04) because there are some upgrade issues and we need to work with Debian a bit to figure out how to best go about it. Currently Debian has just got octave3.0 and are working on removing octave2.9.
