octave...

[Ruediger Back]

hi folks,

if anybody out there is bored reading news about the DOJ and Microsoft 
and feels like he/she wants to help a poor soul (me, that is) track
down why octave is not working for him, than I have a stack backtrace, an
input history (leading to a segfault) and a configuration info
attached. 
Seriously, I originally thought this to be a bug in octave, but jwe
has confirmed that the input works just fine on a reference Linux
platform. Now I'm still trying to figure out why on earth it is not
working for me. I have recompiled about 7 times with different
options, two different compilers.. ditto.
I also realize that because of the length of my mail or the limited
information I can give here and because of the fact that the people
reading the list are usually concerned with other octave-related
problems, this mail might just be a nuisance. If you think so, please
ignore this message or tell me by personal mail. I certainly don't
want to waste the time of octave developers which is better spend
improving octave. I think it is a good and useful tool (if only I
could use it ... that is I can do a lot of things, like plotting
etc.; it just sometimes displays: error: unexpected last match in
yyinput(), when I type, e.g. help plot and always crashes on the input 
given below).

Thank you

Rudy
