Octave install
Hi guys,
I am trying to install octave, but am a little new to installing software on Linux
I have got as far as navigating to the file, and done
./configure
but then typing
make
returns a no make file error
How can I progress from here?
Kind regards
Jonny

When in doubt, package manager!
