Any standalone Matlab/scilab for iPod apps around?

[bonker]

Hello, I've been craving the ability to use Matlab on my iphone, but the main MAtlab app requires a permanent internet connection. I was thus looking for a stand alone matlab/scilab clone. I found some cryptic pointer to such a thing here: http://mobile.co.nz/?p=38" but that's just a pointer not a solution. Any ideas?

You can use Octave, but you need it jail broken first.

I looked into octave. I've jailbroken but compiling octave for the iPod is not simple. To compile on the device you need a whole bunch of libraries that aren't all stable yet. Or you can build a binary for the ARM processor on your desktop machine then transfer it. Too lazy to try this yet. At present I'm using octave on a remote server and connecting to it via the shell on a jailbroken iPod touch. No graphics though :(
