    Octave for Red Hat Linux systems


    For RedHat-based distributions like RedHat, CentOS, Fedora, Scientific Linux ...

    Unspecific RH

    Tested Fedora 20, but not


    Contents
    completely.
    1 Unspecific RH
    2 CentOS
    yum install gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel makemercurial libtool l
    lapack pcre-devel readline-devel readline
    2.1 prepare installation of octave
    fftw-devel glpk-dev
    flex texlive gperf fltk-devel qhull-devel 2.2 get source code of octave and compile it
    hdf5-devel gl2ps-de
    bison ghostscript-devel librsvg2-tools icoutils texlive-metap

    CentOS

    Enable use of Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) (https://fedoraproject.org


    /wiki/EPEL%7CExtra) AND THEN install octave dependencies development packages:

    yum -y install yum-utils


    yum-builddep -y octave
    yum -y install qt-devel mercurial gcc-c++ lapack-devel libtool
    yum -y install epstool transfig pstoedit qscintilla-devel

    The arpack-devel package distributed with CentOS 7 (arpack-devel-3.1.3-2.el7.x86_64)


    seems a bit old, as routine "seupdate" seems not recognized during the "configure" step.
    This can be solved by installing arpack from github:

    git clone git@github.com:opencollab/arpack-ng.git


    cd arpack-ng
    ./bootstrap
    ./configure --prefix="some local prefix"
    make; make install

    Current release as of Aug. 20th 2018 seems to compile OK with CentOS blas-devel

    prepare installation of octave

    The remaining steps do not need to be done as root, except for possibly the final
    installation step. I recommend you create an installation directory like /usr/local/octave
    /VERSION so that it is easy to uninstall a given version simply by removing a directory
    tree. Then to use the installed version, put /usr/local/octave/VERSION/bin in your PATH. If
    you create the /usr/local/octave/VERSION directory with appropriate permissions, it is not
    necessary to be root to install Octave. For example,

    mkdir -p /usr/local/octave/dev
    chown jwe.jwe /usr/local/octave/dev

    create src and build directories:

    Octave for Red Hat Linux systems - Octave https://wiki.octave.org/Octave_for_Red_Hat_Linux...

    mkdir src build

    get source code of octave and compile it

    check out a copy of the octave sources in the src directory

    cd src
    hg clone http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave

    bootstrap the build system

    cd octave
    ./bootstrap

    build Octave in the build directory. choose whatever prefix is appropriate for your
    system. the -jN option builds in parallel

    cd ../../build
    ../src/octave/configure --prefix=/usr/local/octave/dev
    make -j6 all

    Run the test suite

    make check

    If everything looks OK (a few failures are probably normal for the development
    version) install it

    make install
