Sorry, I can't help you with this, since I didn't create the RPM
file.  You'll have to report the problem to whoever is doing that.

In the mean time, I'd suggest getting and installing a statically
linked binary distribution from ftp.che.wisc.edu.  You can find a
distribution for Linux in the directory /pub/octave/BINARIES/2.0.9.

Thanks,
