Could someone update the GNU Octave in the EPEL repository to the
current version 3.6.4?

Can't. The EPEL6 branch is at 3.4.3, and a version upgrade is not
really allowed in the EPEL guidelines.

Why not?

Only mentions ABI changes or incompabilities.  Is this newer version known
to be incompatible in some way?


Yes, it is ABI in-compatible.
