Hi -
First of all, thanks to everyone for the input on the advantages of the
2.9.x branch. I have decided to take the plunge and installed 2.9.6
from the Ubuntu repositories.
In doing so, a counterpart Octave-Forge package is not available so I am
trying to build it myself. Everything goes will until the very end when
I get this message:
To use, add the following to .octaverc:
LOADPATH = [
'/usr/lib/octave/2.9.6/site/oct/i486-pc-linux-gnu/octave-forge:/usr/share/octave/2.9.6/site/m/octave-forge//:',
LOADPATH ];
EXEC_PATH = [ '/usr/lib/octave/2.9.6/site/exec/i486-pc-linux-gnu:',
EXEC_PATH ];
'No problem,' I say; I've had plenty of experience in editing my
.octaverc file in the past. But after doing so, when I start up Octave,
I get the following message on startup:
error: `LOADPATH' undefined near line 4 column 112
A search of the archives indicates that something has changed and
directs me to read the "NEWS" file. But as I installed it from a
precompiled package, I have no such file to consult. What do I need to
do so that the Octave-Forge packages load up on startup? Thanks for the
help.
Oh yeah, for clarity's sake: 2.9.6 on Ubuntu breezy
-Ron
