Re: problem installing packages (3.2.4)

[Márcio Diniz]

Dear Jordi,
I have installed optim through

sudo apt-get install octave-optim (I am running Ubuntu 11.10)

and I cannot find numgradient and numhessian functions. I tried

pkg load optim
help numgradient

and it didn't work. However, I found bfgsmin. Are numgradient and numhessian in other packages for this version (3.2.4)?
Thank you once more.
Regards,
Marcio

It worked nicely.

There is an Ubuntu package. You should use that instead of trying to
install from Octave-Forge. Do

   sudo apt-get install octave-struct

from bash instead.
