Re: Octave 2.9.9 + Octave-Forge 2006.07.09 on x86 MAC OS X 10.4.8 Tiger

I can't see readline or hdf5 in that list!! There is also a libgfortran.2.dylib that is missing from yours (you did say HMUG used g95). That said, HPC octave appears to work ok (very limited testing), until HMUG octave-forge is installed.

If I run octave_config_info from the Octave prompt, I can see these fragments in the output:

DEFS = ... -DUSE_READLINE=1 ...

LIBREADLINE = -lreadline

LIBS = -lreadline -lncurses -lz -lm

I found /usr/lib/libreadline.dylib but this is in a different place to yours, and is a symbolic link to libedit.2.dylib in that same directory. I couldn't find anything at all on HDF5.

Cheers,

Paul.

which all match.

However, let us see what octave is built from. I get:

I suspect you don't have the same versions of readline and hdf5.

G'day Marius,

Thanks for your reply. On my MBP, "which octave" yields
/usr/local/bin/octave

which is a symlink to octave-2.9.9 in that directory.  I also found an "octave-config" binary in that directory and it tells me the following:

$ octave-config --m-site-dir
/usr/local/share/octave/2.9.9/site/m
$octave-config --oct-site-dir
/usr/local/libexec/octave/2.9.9/site/oct/i386-apple-darwin8.8.1
$ octave-config -p BINDIR
/usr/local/bin
$ octave-config -p API_VERSION
api-v22
$ octave-config -p CANONICAL_HOST_TYPE
i386-apple-darwin8.8.1
$ octave-config -p LIBDIR
/usr/local/lib
$ octave-config -p LIBEXECDIR
/usr/local/libexec
$ octave-config -p OCTLIBDIR
/usr/local/lib/octave-2.9.9
$ octave-config -p DATADIR
/usr/local/share
$ octave-config -p ARCHLIBDIR
/usr/local/libexec/octave/2.9.9/exec/i386-apple-darwin8.8.1

Is that consistent with HMUG's octave-forge 2006.07.09? It appears so from the "m" and "oct" dir information, right?

Cheers,
Paul.

Paul,

Since I use my own, i.e. the HMUG ports, I can't tell you where the hpc build has installed octave.

However, you should be able to tell by typing

which octave

The HMUG builds are installed under /usr/local, more specifically the components are installed under /usr/local/share/octave/2.9.9 and /usr/local/libexec/octave/2.9.9.

G'day all.

I'm trying to get Octave + Octave Forge running on my new MacBook
Pro Core 2 Duo (x86) running OS X 10.4.8 (Tiger)

I installed the binary Octave 2.9.9 from the HPC project without
much trouble at all. I then tried to install the binary Octave-
Forge from the HMUG site and am having trouble getting it to work.
Not sure if it's something simple (path problem), Mac specific (X11
issue) or nefarious.

From having what looked to be a working Octave 2.9.9, this is what
I get when I run Octave now:

When I remove all of the Octave-Forge directories, Octave looks ok
again. Any help / advice with this is much appreciated.
