I am trying to install octave 3.6.4 on my office PC (Scientific Linux 6.4 based on red hat) but I can only do it in my own account since I don't have root access.
When trying I get the following error:
configure: error: to build Octave, you must have the PCRE library and header files installed
This happens in a directory called /some_stuff/user_name/Programs.
I have installed pcre 8.32 (and checked the installation by running RunTest) in the directory /some_stuff/user_name/bin/pcre-8.32 and then tried the command
./configure CPPFLAGS="-I/some_stuff/user_name/bin/pcre-8.32/include" LDFLAGS="-L/some_stuff/user_name/bin/pcre-8.32/lib"
That didn't get rid of the error. It is still there. Anything else I could try?
Thanks,
Dan
