Hello everyone,
I have run into trouble trying to install Octave-4.0.2 on a 32-bit 12.04 machine. I have tried to download from a repository (Octave/stable). I have also tried to build from source, but this failed in the "make" phase with a series of messages I frankly couldn't follow. I tried removing an existing Octave-3.8.2 on this machine before trying the new installation and this got nowhere. I have previously successfully installed octave 4.0.2 on two 14.04 (Trusty) machines.
A related question to the above is as follows. One of the Octave packages I want to install after I get Octave installed is a package ("Symbolic") that requires a version of SymPy greater than 0.7.6. I can't for the life of me figure out how to do the install.
Scoured the web for guidance and found none on both of these issues.
Could someone kindly guide me thru the installation.
Many thanks
