Here's the story: I want to install Octave on my SuSe 10.1 system, but I couldn't find any binaries or rpm packages. So, I downloaded the source code and tried to install the thing:

OK, so I need a Fortran compiler. Unfortunately, the DVD I used to install my system doesn't have one included (it has C and Java compilers, but apparently someone decided not to include the entire gcc collection). So I went online and found
this. I followed the instructions:
Quote:
[computer-name]:/etc # tar -zxvf gfortran-linux.tar.gz
<snip: lists files>
[computer-name]:/etc # /etc/irun/bin/gfortran --version
GNU Fortran 95 (GCC) 4.3.0 20070111 (experimental)

[computer-name]:/etc # export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/etc/irun/lib

No luck. When I try to compile Octave now, I get the exact same error message. I probably didn't quite understand exactly what the last two instructions in that link meant:
Quote:
(v) You will need to set LD_LIBRARY_FLAG or compile with -static.
(vi) Assuming that you are using bash, find your .bash_profile and add the line,
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$mypath/irun/lib alternatively, invoke bash at the command line and enter this previous line.

What should I do to get the Fortran compiler working?
