Hi Philip,
I was expecting a lot of problems on Win7 with my Linux experience so
far, so I checked everything thoroughly!
Intel has an article on how to build 3.2.4 that one can adapt for 3.4.2,
see below:
http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/using-intel-mkl-in-gnu-octave/
<http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/using-intel-mkl-in-gnu-octave/#comment-61687>
The problem here is that configure.in file has been replaced with
configure.ac file and the same steps are proposed in the Intel article
are not so clear now. I am now studying autoconf.....

In my hotel room I've decided to give Octave a go on my Win7 laptop.
I've installed and read odt files within an hour!
( You probably mean .ods :-) .odt = text, OOo Write)
(puzzled) What did you need to do other than just install the
octave-3.2.4-MinGW Windows installer that took almost an hour?
It should work OOTB...
Now back to Linux, I still want to solve the problem and will do it over
this weekend.
I think the java server vs client directory issue is the key. You
already found the solution yourself: a simple symlink will do.
I have downloaded Octave 3.4.2 as I see the latest IO
package must have > Octave 3.4.
... because textread, csvread and some other stuff is in "core octave"
since 3.3.51 or so and had to be deleted from the io package
(otherwise the io pkg versions would "shadow" the native ones in
octave itself).
If you would need those functions with octave-3.2.4 and you would
install the newest io pkg version, you are out of luck.
Which boils down to this: if you don't need these functions, you /can/
use io-1.0.14 with older Octave versions.
Or better yet: you can just copy the io-1.0.14 scripts over the ones
in the io-1.0.13 directory (/usr/share/octave/packages/io-<version> IIRC)
But Octave-3.4.2 is superior over 3.2.4 anyway.
I cannot install 3.4.2. from the Ubuntu
repositories and therefore will have to build it. I also want to use the
Intel compilers to be compatible with the rest of my FEM development
work.
I'm not sure if Octave can be compiled with that. Hint: search the
octave-maintainers list for this.
Thanks,
Philip
