I used aptitude build-dep octave (or something similar) to install the packages that octave depends on, and then compiled Octave 3.6.1 Is there a similar simple procedure for SL? -------------------- Finally I alone survived, a rat in the walls of the BRANIAC contruct....

Looking for version 3.6.1

Just download the epel source package, update it to 3.6.1 and then rebuild it.

Or ask epel to release and updated version of their package.

Its easy? Could you point me to a resource which shows the update/rebuild process?

Thanks!
