Re: Installing octave & octave-forge on Mac OS X 10.4.x - A No-Fuss Guide

[Henry F. Mollet]

Thanks. I will try this with my new eMac/Tiger OS which should get here next
week. I have the following questions.
Henry

1. I assume I need StuffitExpander for the tarballs.

2. What about Gnuplot? Is is part of the octave 2.1.71 tarball (=item #26).

3. #13 item (xpm) has no OS 10.4 version, only up to
xpm-3.4k-3-osx3.tar.gz January 15 2005 20:00:27 606.3 kB.

4. #17 item szip, which one, difference is 'enc':
szip-2.0-1-osx4.tar.gz May 12 2005 08:58:29 535.7 kB or
szip-2.0-1enc-osx4.tar.gz May 12 2005 09:00:30 536.0 kB.

5. #26 item octave, which one, difference is 'lam':
octave-2.1.71-2lamveclib-osx4.tar.gz June 16 2005 21:05:02 129.0 MB
octave-2.1.71-2veclib-osx4.tar.gz May 22 2005 11:16:47 128.9 M .

6. #27 item octave-forge, which one, difference is 'lam':
octave-forge-2005.06.13-2.1.71-2-osx4.tar.gz June 19 2005 10:32:13 32.34 MB
octave-forge-2005.06.13-2.1.71-2lam-osx4.tar.gz June 19 2005 09:27:53 32.34
