| - | == Download and Unpack ==
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Gnuplot: [http://www.gnuplot.info/ http://www.gnuplot.info/] (I used version 4.2.6)

| - | f2c/libf2c: [https://computation.llnl.gov/casc/Overture/henshaw/install/node8.html https://computation.llnl.gov/casc/Overture/henshaw/install/node8.html] This is where I got my version

| - | Fort77: [https://computation.llnl.gov/casc/Overture/henshaw/install/node8.html https://computation.llnl.gov/casc/Overture/henshaw/install/node8.html] This is where I got my version.

| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Octave: [http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/ http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/] (I used the latest stable version (3.2.3).)

| - | == Install ==
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | * Compile and Install Gnuplot
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ./configure
| + | |
| - | make
| + | |
| - | fakeroot make install
| + | |
| - | * Compile and Install f2c and libf2c
| + | |
| - | cd src/
| + | |
| - | make
| + | |
| - | fakeroot make install
| + | |
| - | cd ../libf2c
| + | |
| - | make
| + | |
| - | cp f2c.h /usr/include/
| + | |
| - | cp libf2c.a /usr/lib/
| + | |
| - | * Install fort77 script
| + | |
| - | cp fort77 /usr/bin
| + | |
| - | * Compile and Install GNU Octave
| + | |
| - | ./configure F77=fort77 CXXFLAGS=-pthread FLIBS=-lf2c
| + | |
| - | make
| + | |
| - | fakeroot make install
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | The main obstacles were installing f2c, libf2c and fort77 and finding the necessary configure options to compile and install octave.
