  the latest package and errata.

  <http://www.higuchi.ecei.tohoku.ac.jp/octave>

=== 1. Requirements ===

  This software needs Octave and MPI. 

  Octave : Octave with dynamic linking support is required.
           To find out if it does, type the command

             'octave_config_info ("ENABLE_DYNAMIC_LINKING")'

           at Octave prompt. Support for dynamic linking is included
           if this expression returns the string "true".

  MPI    : Using LAM/MPI <http://www.lam-mpi.org> is recommended.
	   Parallel-Octave may work under other MPI implementation,
	   but they are not tested well.

  All connected computers must have the directory whose name and path are
  identical with the current directory of the master computer.


=== 2. Quick Installation ===

  1.Type

    $ tar zxvf poctave_0.0.0.tar.gz
    $ cd poctave_0.0.0
    $ ./configure
    $ make
    $ su
    # make install

    Modules will be installed under /usr/local/libexec/octave/

  2. Add LOADPATH and EXEC_PATH to '~/.octaverc' .
     LOADPATH and EXEC_PATH are shown after 'make install' .

  3. Parallel-Octave uses "rsh" to invoke remote shell in remote nodes.
     Configure systems and enable rsh.
 
    
=== 3. Optional ===

  If you want the program to reside in a different location from
  /usr/local (/bin and /share) then provide configure with a prefix:

    $ ./configure --prefix=/home/foo

  If you do not specify a prefix, /usr/local is used.


=== 4. Uninstall ===

  You can remove installed files by running

    $ make uninstall

  on top of the source tree.
