Re: Upgrading octave version

[asha g]

Dear Tatsuro and Sergei,
The prospect of compiling from scratch seems truly
daunting to me. Also this is a 64 bit machine. 
I think I will wait and see if they are willing to
give me a machine with Fedora or a higher version of
RHEL.Then hopefully, I don't need to compile from
source. If so, shall get back.
Thanks
