Re: 64-bit indexing version of Octave release

[Kai Torben Ohlhus]

Dear Norm,

An unexpected and welcome request 🙂  What links you to this mailing-list?

The most reliable approach to get Octave and the 64-bit indexing 
(including all library dependencies) on Linux running is the 
Docker-image I am using and maintaining.  Details are described here [1] 
and here [2].

If you have either Singularity, Docker, or Podman installed, using the 
installer script (please change the end of the command accordingly):

   /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL 
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gnu-octave/docker/main/install.sh)" 
install -t singularity

Octave feels like installed via your systems package manager and works 
for me like a charm 🙂

If you have any trouble, please open an issue on GitHub [3] or write me 
again.

Best wishes,
Kai
