[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60450] load fails to read MAT file

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #16, bug #60450 (project octave):

Turns out it isn't easy to replace zlib. I assume it's used at boot time to
uncompress the kernel; with some other zlib my system stalled or had a kernel
panic very early during boot. Maybe there are safety measures to ensure a
particular zlib version is tied to the boot process? (wouldn't be a bad idea
from a security perspective)
No appetite here to experiment further :-)

Anyway I've been pondering for some time to change distro anyway - Mageia 6 to
8 had/have issues with my (older) video HW (tried several other distro's that
just work) + it used to have some older libraries which has bitten me before
when building dev Octave. Maybe this zlib thing should be considered the
tipping point.

So in summary I'd say: yes, just close this bug report.
