My friend, is not a good to use many respos, epel is sufficient to octave, think what is the purpose? epel and default repo is suffcient, maybe repoforge, but my advice is use the default repo, if you need another, for example desktop then repoforge and epel. when you are installing software you can use --disablerepo=anotherrepo, the no problem. But my advice is use default repo (scientific linux) and epel or repoforge no more. > > > Regards, > Mahmood >
