I have a question about Octave/Matlab compatability. From reading the
FAQ & wiki, I got the impression that Octave would run pretty much all
Matlab code. Yet I have a package of code that I want to run, and I
encounter what seem to be fundamental language issues.
(I should mention that I don't really know much of anything about Matlab:
I just need to run this particular package.)
The package README file states:
> Congradulations on downloading your very own version of the Toolbox of
> Level Set Methods. If you can read this, you have successfully
> unpacked the tarball or zipfile and have all of the routines ready to
> access.
>
> To use this toolbox, you will need to run the basic version of Matlab
> (tests have been performed on version 6.5, but earlier version 6.* may
> work). No additional toolboxes are required.
Yet when I try to run the examples, I get errors like
"error: 'run' undefined near line 3 column 1"
Here's a cut-down version of the .m file, with just the offending line:
---
function [ data, g, data0 ] = bug (flowType, accuracy, displayType)
%run('../addPathToKernel');
---
The 'addPathToKernel file just contains a line
addpath(genpath('/home/me/src/fsweep/Kernel'));
which gives an "addpath undefined" error if I include it directly.
So what could I be doing wrong here? I'm running the most recent version
of Octave (2.1.73). The files in the package have dates up to June 04,
which is not _that_ old, so I wouldn't have expected major language
changes. I'm pretty well stumped...
Thanks,
James
