I've found a few links to a repository that has Octave and GNUplot, but the hosting server seems to no longer exist. Does anyone happen to have the deb files for these? I'd really like to be able to run Octave on my N800 (it ought to impress my fellow physics grad students).

here are some very old, old deb packages for OS2006, build by Arno Onken (whyly AT gmx DOT net), hosted on my web server:

for more info, or to find out how to contact Arno, please google for Arno Onken Maemo.

I have some packages somewhere. OS2007 version here: http://people.bath.ac.uk/enpsgp/noki...9-r1_armel.deb

Thanks to both of you. I had to go to red pill mode to install one library, but I now have Octave 2.9 and gnuplot 4.0.0 running on my OS2008 N800. I've tried enabling mouse support in gnuplot, but it seems a bit buggy. If I try to rotate a plot with the stylus, the displayed plot stays the same until I close the plot window. Then the rotated plot is shown in a new window. Everything else I've tried works great though.

Thanks again.

Hi, I just installed the .deb and tried to run octave from the command line, but it just gave me a command not found. I checked the application manager and it tells me octave is installed, but its size is 0kb, which is quite strange. Did I do something wrong?

The program is located at /usr/local/bin/octave.

Sorry, I didn't fill in all the description fields in the deb, hence the apparent 0kb size.

Ah, managed to get it working now. For future reference: the missing library that has to be installed in red pill mode is libg2c. Then you can run octave with ./octave. Works like a charm.

Would it be possible to get octave 3.0 running (was released this December)? Would be awesome!

Okay, I give up. What repository has libg2c? I can't seem to find a reference to a Maemo-version anywhere!

Should be in my repo as given above?
