My guess is that liboctinterp-3.4.0.so
is not ending up in the same location on your Ubuntu machine as where it is expected to be on your RedHat machines. First, check to make sure that liboctinterp-3.4.0.so is something that is in fact built by the Octave build process. If so, check where the library is installed. If that directory is not one accessible on the RedHat machine, then perhaps there is some command line switch during the install process to specify where libraries should be. (I'm not real familiar with building all aspects of Octave though, so it's only a guess.) But why won't someone with root access to the RedHat machine install Octave? It's part of the RedHat software data base I believe, so it is just a matter of using the Add/Remove Software menu. Or at least install the tools necessary to build Octave? Try building Octave and email the administrator with the tools that are missing, or step the administrator through the build process. (Remember, always gravel. It's an administrator after all.)
