Re: Installation problems

[frank wang]

Thanks for the help.

 

I am using SUSE 10.1. I just downloaded the octave packages and try to build it. I think that I do not have lapack/blas/ufsparse, etc. package installed.

 

Could you tell me what packages I need to install? I want to install Octave in the best way so I can port my matlab code to octave.

 

Thanks

 

Frank

You are posting to the wrong mailing list. help-octave (General
discussion about using and installing Octave) would be more
appropriate.

You need to install development libraries. Those usually have names
like readline-devel
and so on.

This may happen if your lapack/blas/ufsparse libraries were compiled
by a different
gcc compiler than the one used to compile octave.
Then there are 10000 other possibilities, but we could not tell since you
did not provide any details.
