[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #38691] optim package conflicting with octave's optimization

[Mike Miller]

Update of bug #38691 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Need Info              
        Operating System:               GNU/Linux => Any

Follow-up Comment #1:

You have changed the path by loading the optim package. Or do you mean
changing the working directory?

Here's what I get:


octave:1> which fminsearch 
'fminsearch' is a function from the file
/opt/gnu/octave/share/octave/3.7.2+/m/optimization/fminsearch.m
octave:2> pkg load optim
warning: function /home/mike/octave/optim-1.2.2/fminsearch.m shadows a core
library function
octave:3> which fminsearch 
'fminsearch' is a function from the file
/home/mike/octave/optim-1.2.2/fminsearch.m


Does the warning message address the problem that you are reporting?

I notice the warning does not show if I use ./run-octave in the build
directory.
