I remember reading a while ago about someone who had installed Octave 3.0 and was running it on Debian on the n800 (albeit very slowly). However when I try to install Octave 3.0 with the Synaptic Package Manager, it initiates installation but fails after recording errors in various packages. I'm a complete noob to Debian, and am not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if there is another way to get octave running, or if it simply will not run. Octave on the tablet would be awesome and any help is appreciated.
Thanks
