Hi there, sorry to bring up an old thread, but could someone help me install an octave package. I'm getting the following:

Code:
configure: error: in `/var/tmp/oct-NBXuTf/odepkg-0.6.10/src': 
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables 
See `config.log' for more details. 
the configure script returned the following error: checking for gcc... gcc 
checking whether the C compiler works... no 
error: called from `pkg>configure_make' in file /opt/octave//share/octave/3.2.3/m/pkg/pkg.m near line 1240, column 2 
error: called from: 
error: /opt/octave//share/octave/3.2.3/m/pkg/pkg.m at line 714, column 5 
error: /opt/octave//share/octave/3.2.3/m/pkg/pkg.m at line 287, column 7
any suggestions?
