cannot pkg install: /usr/bin/ld: skipping imcompatible ..liboctinterp.so when searching for -loctinterp

[Dan Mahoney]

I installed the octave that was in the RHEL repo.
But this being a 64bit machine it seems to installed
both a 386 and x86_64 version.
Which I never understood.
Among other things.
