and then as root
rpm -i *.rpm
why not just setup the repository and then :
yum install octave
Is there a 'step_by_step' instruction to set up the repository ? In other words, what do I have to add to the yum.conf file to enable 'karan's' repository ?
You shouldn't directly modify yum.conf to add a repository. That's what /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo files are for.
To address your question more generally, I would suggest starting at http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories
