Hi Johan, Those packages are not official, as it is clearly stated there. They where built for Ubuntu, so i guess they do not work in Mint. You should try to compile octave on your machine. It takes about 1 hr using "make -j2" in a double core 2.4GHz cpu, less in better machines (8 minutes in a 6 cores 3.4Ghz using make -j6). Just follow the instructions on the wiki, everything should go well. If not, we can help you. Probably in this way errors will be easier to solve than when you use low-quality unofficial packages.
