 +====== Compiling Octave 3.4.3 from Source ======
  
 +This guide is written for the Sun Tsessbe Cluster. The reader is advise to read through the INSTALL file located in the Octave Source Folder before proceeding with this guide. Also it recommended to make use of temporary or scratch directory to do all the compilation in (i.e. ~/scratch or /tmp/$USER), as to save disk space in your home directory. This guide assumes GCC 4.6.2 has been installed in your home directory as  in [[guide:compiling_gcc|Compiling GCC from Source]]. Paste the following lines at the end of your ./bashrc file
 +  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
 +  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
 +  export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
 +  export LDFLAGS="-L$HOME/lib64 -L$HOME/lib"

-This guide is written as to try and help CHPC users who are struggling to compile the Octave version required for their codes. This guide is written for the Sun Tsessbe Cluster. The reader is advise to read through the INSTALL file located in the Octave Source they wish to install before proceeding with this guide. +
- +
-Before you begin, make sure your bash environmental variable are set correctly, for [[quick:start#what_you_can_do|example ]]. Also it recommended that you make you use of temporary or scratch directory to do all the compilation in (i.e. ~/scratch or /tmp/$USER), as to save disk space in your home directory. +
- +
-Also note that for this guide, all binary and libraries are installed home directory, i.e prefix=$HOME. If you have not installed GCC a version of GCC in your home directory, do   +
-  $ export PATH=/opt/gridware/gcc-4.3/bin:$PATH +
-  $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gridware/gcc-4.3/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH +
-  $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gridware/gcc-4.3/lib64/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH +
-  $ gcc --version +
-    gcc (GCC) 4.3.4 +
- +
-Otherwise, make sure the following is at the end of your .bashrc file +
-  $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH +
-  $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH +
-  $ export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH+
   $  gcc --version   $  gcc --version

-At the time this guide was written, the f77 compiler was broken [?]: 
-   $ f77 --help

-   NOTICE: Invoking /usr/bin/f90 -f77 -ftrap=%none --help

-Options explained +
-  * --- prefix=$HOME, configure for installation into home directory +
-  * ---without-fftw3 --without-fftw3f, Use the included fftpack library for computing Fast Fourier Transforms instead of the fftw3 library. If this option is not chosen the following build was encounter : +
