I've followed all the other steps and downloaded chk_spreadsheet_support now
with result:
octave-3.2.4:4> chk_spreadsheet_support ('/usr/lib/java/',3)
Checking Excel/ActiveX/COM... not working.
Checking Java support...
1. Checking Java JRE presence.... OK, found one.
2. Checking Octave Java support... error: No Java support found.

I think I still have some rights issues, see following:
octave-3.2.4:3> javaaddpath ('/usr/lib/java/xercesImpl.jar')
error: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/client/libjvm.so: cannot

This is a very complicated process indeed for a novice.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
