Hi.

You'll need octave, octave-forge (dispatch), coin-2.3.0  and SoQt-1.2.0 
(http://www.coin3d.org/download/) and Qt-library. For debian you'll need 
QTDIR that is something like this: /usr/share/qt3, I guess.

On debian system, you'll search for coin, and you'll need developer 
packages of both Coin and SoQt, their names are libcoin40-dev, and 
libsoqt-dev. apt-get install libcoin40-dev libsoqt-dev

If you are running gentoo: emerge -p coin SoQt, check if coin is 
actually coin3d api, and then emerge coin SoQt.
Building Coin and SoQt takes approx: 30 minutes, so binary and 
development packages are recommended, If you don't want to build from 
scratch.

Since I have octave installed in /usr, Oplot is also configured using 
configure --prefix=/usr

I will update the README files.

Debian-specific:
If you getting strange error in configure or make, then export SED=sed 
could solve the problem....

Oplot will dump a lot of information.

Suggestions, feedback and developers are wanted in this project. ;-)

Ole
