Thanks gapan, Octave 4.0 the latest version is now installed ok. There is a GUI by default, but the plotting window only generates garbage. However, I guess that's a problem for the Octave mailing list.

Trying to install Octave, I first got an error regarding doxygen : command not found. So after installing it I tried again and got the following:

sudo spi -i octave
Password:
The following packages will be installed:

Will do. Thanks.

spi -i nedit

Thanks again, it's fine now.

Thanks. Compiled ok, but when I tried launching it from the xfce menu I got:

Failed to execute command "avidemux3_qt"

Looking in /usr/bin it should be avidemux3_qt4.
