Dear Matthew,

After disabling C6-media by using the command " # yum-config-manager --disable c6-media", I have installed octave by using the command "# yum install octave". But it has installed old version. Tried for new version by specifying "# yum install octave-4.0.0" but it was not available. However I have installed the old version. But when I type octave in the terminal it is not opening the octave console. What should I do for it? How to verify whether installed properly of not?


Thanks
Ramesh

Hello Ramesh,
                           These are not FSL-specific questions and would be best asked on a Centos user forum. However, from the error message below it looks like yum is trying to access the install media. This can be disabled in the following way:

yum --disablerepo='*media*' update

kind regards
Matthew
