Apologies. I'm not familiar with the etiquette.

The installation didn't naturally stop, I stopped it. At that stage it was
running for 48 hours and I was advised that it shouldn't take that long.
Through reading the output it didn't look like there were any errors, it
just seemed to be verifying and running lots of different things.

I tried to locate the log file in /tmp but it didn't exist; is a log file
still generated if the installation is prematurely stopped? I'll rerun it
with the -l option and send it to you

Thanks for the advice. I would do that, but I read that octave-atlas caters
for some bugs/features of the X86_64 architecture. Do you know otherwise?

Thanks again

Peter
