Details:

Dear octave support, 
I am trying to install octave v 4.2.2 + parallel-3.1.1 package to run octave
in parallel. 
Here there are the cluster details, Marconi A1, with Intel Brodwell processors
(OS Centos 7.0)
https://wiki.u-gov.it/confluence/display/SCAIUS/UG3.1%3A+MARCONI+UserGuide
I was able to install octave. To install the parallel-3.1.1 package and the
struct-1.0.14, it was requested the libgnutls-dev
https://octave.sourceforge.io/parallel/package_doc/Installation.html
This is libgnutls available in the system, 

address@hidden ~]$ rpm -qa | grep gnutls
gnutls-dane-3.3.8-14.el7_2.x86_64
gnutls-3.3.8-14.el7_2.x86_64
gnutls-c++-3.3.8-14.el7_2.x86_64
gnutls-devel-3.3.8-14.el7_2.x86_64

When I try to install the package, we get the following Warning

checking for pkg-config... pkg-config
configure: WARNING: TLS disabled since symbol gnutls_srp_2048_group_prime not
found in gnutls library - built with --disable-srp-authentication?


This Warning inhibits the correct use of the parallel package, 
as reported here,
https://octave.sourceforge.io/parallel/package_doc/Installation.html 

After the installation, trying a very simple parallel test we get errors, see
parcellfun.log 

We have not found out an rpm package of the gnutls-dev in which the TLS-SRP is
not disabled. 
We have installed the  gnutls/3.6.2-gnu-6.1.0 from
https://www.gnutls.org/download.html but it is not recognized during the build
the gnutls library is not recognized because the -dev version are required. 

Any hints or suggestion of how to overcome the issue?

Please find attached the building logs and the the parallel tests. 

Thanks in advance

Ivan
