 for building from source are included in the Octave manual.
-=Download=
-Released source tarballs are available at http://www.octave.org/download.html. You will normally want to use one of those.
-The download page also contains instructions to download the development sources. If you are using the development sources, be sure to type the following command before configuring:
- ./autogen.sh
-This builds the configure scripts that Octave uses. This requires a number of tools which are not needed if you download an octave release, such as recent versions of autoconf/automake, and tools such as bison, flex, gperf, perl, and maybe others.
