Here is the right way to do this:<br /> <br /> * Install Octave<br /> <br /> sudo apt-get install octave3.0<br /> <br /> * optionally check which octave. In my case the old version was removed leaving behind dead link from /usr/bin/octave to /etc/alternatives... I recreated the link to the latest version.<br /> <br /> * Install the development package octave-headers - you will need this to install additional packages<br /> <br /> sudo apt-get install octave3.0-headers<br /> <br /> * Download the desired packages from sourceforge:<br /> <br /> http://octave.sourceforge.net/packages.html<br /> <br /> * Install (do not unzip) the octave packages from octave. Note, if you want to install them globally for all users, you need to start the octave as root:<br /> <br /> sudo octave<br /> ...<br /> octave:1&gt; pkg install /home/me/Desktop/image-1.0.6.tar.gz<br /> ...<br /> <br /> * optionally check the packages from ortave with <br /> <br /> pkg list<br /> <br /> You are done.<br /> If you want to uninstall package, consult help or just do it:<br /> <br /> help pkg<br /> pkg uninstall image<br /> <br /> Good luck.</div>
