CentOS
Enable use of Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) AND THEN install octave dependencies development packages:
yum -y install yum-utils yum-builddep -y octave yum -y install qt-devel mercurial gcc-c++ lapack-devel libtool yum -y install epstool transfig pstoedit qscintilla-devel
The arpack-devel package distributed with CentOS 7 (arpack-devel-3.1.3-2.el7.x86_64) seems a bit old, as routine "seupdate" seems not recognized during the "configure" step. This can be solved by installing arpack from github:
git clone git@github.com:opencollab/arpack-ng.git cd arpack-ng ./bootstrap ./configure --prefix="some local prefix" make; make install
Current release as of Aug. 20th 2018 seems to compile OK with CentOS blas-devel
Prepare installation of Octave
The remaining steps do not need to be done as root, except for possibly the final installation step. I recommend you create an installation directory like /usr/local/octave/VERSION so that it is easy to uninstall a given version simply by removing a directory tree. Then to use the installed version, put /usr/local/octave/VERSION/bin in your PATH. If you create the /usr/local/octave/VERSION directory with appropriate permissions, it is not necessary to be root to install Octave. For example,
mkdir -p /usr/local/octave/dev chown jwe.jwe /usr/local/octave/dev
create src and build directories:
mkdir src build
Compiling Octave from source
Check out a copy of the octave sources in the src directory
cd src hg clone http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave
- bootstrap the build system
cd octave ./bootstrap
- build Octave in the build directory. choose whatever prefix is appropriate for your system. the -jN option builds in parallel
cd ../../build ../src/octave/configure --prefix=/usr/local/octave/dev make -j6 all
- Run the test suite
make check
- If everything looks OK (a few failures are probably normal for the development version) install it
make install
