Dear All I downloaded the octave-3.4.2 and tried to install it on my centos 5.6 as the following: #./configure But it prompted for lack of a c compiler, so I tried to install gcc first and then re-executed it and it was successful. #make But it prompts as "No targets specified and no makefile found". #make install But it prompts as "No rule to make target 'install'". I had the same steps for installing applications when I was on my centos 5.0 machine. Can you please let me know what is wrong my case? Thank you

Did you check the configure log file to see what is wrong? JD
