Installation of GNU Octave on Ubuntu 15.04

[Brenton Horne]

Hi,

I have been trying to install Octave 4.0.0 on Ubuntu 15.04, by running:

cd /tmp
wget -c ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/octave/octave-4.0.0.tar.gz
tar -xzf octave*.tar.gz
mv octave* octave && sudo mv octave /opt
sudo chmod 777 -R /opt/octave
./configure CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/include/hdf5/serial LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib/$(dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/hdf5/serial JAVA_HOME='/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-i386'
make
sudo make install DESTDIR=/opt/octave/build

I ran the executable /opt/octave/build/usr/local/bin/octave to receive the error:

➜  octave  '/opt/octave/build/usr/local/bin/octave' 
octave: failed to exec '/usr/local/libexec/octave/4.0.0/exec/i686-pc-linux-gnu/octave-gui'

Further details may be found here.

Thanks for your time,
Brenton
