Hi, I am trying to install Octave binaries from EPEL on a RHEL6
x86_64
system. EPEL looked so promising because compiling octave has given
me fits with this old compiler (GCC 4.4.5)!! Please tell me whether a
problem of missing RPMs is considered an EPEL problem or not. Here's
what I found.
Hello
Apparently octave needs a couple of libraries which are provided by
packages available in the optional RHN channel(s) [*]. Therefore you
must enable those channel(s) in order to successfully install it.
(*) I use Centos so I am not very familiar with the current structure of
the RHN channels

First I downloaded the EPEL rpm to hook up to the EPEL repository,
installed as follows:
% rpm -i epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm
Then yum started to yield very interesting results (full output is
below):
% sudo yum install octave
Yum resolved a slew of dependencies using EPEL (see output below).
Unfortunately in the end it failed to find the following RPMS:
Error: Package: 6:octave-3.4.3-1.el6.x86_64 (epel)
Requires: libglpk.so.0()(64bit)
Error: Package: 6:octave-3.4.3-1.el6.x86_64 (epel)
Requires: libfftw3f.so.3()(64bit)
Error: Package: 6:octave-3.4.3-1.el6.x86_64 (epel)
Requires: libfftw3.so.3()(64bit)
The FFTW page
http://www.fftw.org/install/linux.html offers some
severely outdated RPMs, compiled with gcc 2.95.2, ouch. However they
offer source RPMs.
Googling yielded quite a few people asking the same question on
various sites. Some posters replied with directions to visit yet
another RPM repository ("forge") and others saying never to mix the
EPEL with Forge.
I'm new to EPEL, so please pardon if I'm asking the wrong thing or in
the wrong place. Thanks for any and all help! If you don't mind,
please also respond to me directly so I don't miss anything.

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
