Package: Octave3.2 Version: 3.2.4-8I used the debian synaptic package manager to install octave. Unfortunately, it crashes whenever I invoke even a simple matrix multiply. Something is clearly missing.I'm running debian version 6.0.6, Gnu Desktop version 2.30.2 and linux kernel 2.6.32-5-686.Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am sorry to inform you that this bug will not be fixed (and I am hereby tagging this bug report accordingly). The Debian Octave Group decided to drop the maintenance of the octave3.2 package. The current upstream version of Octave is 3.6.2, which corresponds to the package called octave (N.B.: no version in the name) in the testing distribution.
You seem to be using the squeeze distribution. I would suggest you to install the backported version of the package, which can be found here:
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze-backports/octaveOtherwise, you could upgrade your system to the wheezy distribution, which will become the stable distribution soon.
Best regards, Rafael
