OK - here's another one: Support Octave in CentOSplus

Octave has been dropped by upstream and there is no apparent sign of
EPEL picking it up as of this point. It does build under CentOS5 Beta
from Fedora Extras - see

Not the best solution... but it works (as of Feb 12 2008)
wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/centos.karan.org/el5/extras/testing/i386/RPMS/ufsparse-2.1.1-1.el5.kb.i386.rpm
wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/centos.karan.org/el5/extras/testing/i386/RPMS/qhull-2003.1-6.el5.kb.i386.rpm
wget http://centos.karan.org/el5/extras/testing/i386/RPMS/glpk-4.15-1.el5.kb.i386.rpm
wget http://centos.karan.org/el5/extras/testing/i386/RPMS/fftw-3.1.2-3.el5.kb.i386.rpm
wget http://centos.karan.org/el5/extras/testing/i386/RPMS/hdf5-1.6.5-7.el5.kb.i386.rpm
wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/epel/5/i386/octave-3.0.0-2.el5.i386.rpm

and then as root

rpm -i *.rpm
