Jeremy,

On my G5 Mac, I have the following lines in a .bash_profile file in my home
directory:

export GNUTERM=aqua
export DISPLAY=:0.0

If that, doesn't fix the problem, I suspect you're mixing Fink and non-Fink
applications, and you must really understand where all the files are and
have the correct declarations in your .bash_profile to make that work.

you need either
1. compile the m-files into an executable -- google for "matlab
compiler" or "octave compiler"
2. translate into a compileable language and compile that -- search for
"matlab to c"  or "octave to c"

or check if libaquaterm.1.0.0.dylib can instead be found in /sw/lib. In
this case you can help out by:

sudo ln -s /sw/lib/libaquaterm.1.0.0.dylib /usr/local/lib/

gnu-stow can be used quite neatly to automate these kinda links, but it
does require some shell hackage (if not much).

Hmm, looking again: why is gnuplot in /usr/local/bin, doesn't fink
always go to /sw?
Do you have a gnuplot in /sw/bin? If so you might want to try deleting
(or renaming) the other gnuplot so that octave uses the right one:

sudo mv /usr/local/gnuplot /usr/local/gnuplot.out

Subject: 2 + 2 = H ???
To: address@hidden
Message-ID: < address@hidden>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I've compiled octave 2.1.73 on my embedded platform
using f2c and gcc 4.0.3.  Octave compiled from start
to finish, with a few (make ignored) errors with
regards to making documentation files.

Everything looks like it should run just fine but
when I start octave and enter "2 + 2", the answer
comes back "ans = H".  Basically, octave _seems_ to
behave properly (can assign variables and use them
in expressions), but the only ans to all assignments
or evaluated expressions is "H".

Has anyone seen this type of behavior before or
have any idea what the cause may be?

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback. My Octave is in /usr/local/bin - two versions, one just plain Octave and another Octave-2.1.73, there is Gnuplot in sw/lib/gnuplot and another in usr.
Libaquaterm.1.0.0.dylib is not present - two libaquaterm are in usr/local/lib (which is directory where libaquaterm.1.0.0.dylib should have been); one is libaquaterm.1.0.1.dylib and the other is libaquaterm.dylib, though both have the same size.  I tried renaming and then copying one of these to libaquaterm.1.0.0.dylib using Finder but was unable to do so (similar response when I tried renaming a Gnuplot file). I tried copying libaqua*.dylib using sudo mv etc (sudo mv usr/local/lib/libaquaterm.1.0.1.dylib usr/local/lib/libaquaterm.1.0.0.dylib)
but got the response that there was no such file or directory - sure enough I was in my user directory. So far I have been able to change to usr by means of the cd command in BASH. This bit of OSX is bit trickier than I expected. Any suggestions?

As you guessed I have not been hygienic with the installations and have mixed Fink with non-Fink binaries on the mistaken assumption that I was working with applications that had separate folders (like DOS, OS/2 etc) and that editing the PATH statement would be the cure. I had best buy a book on the Unix side of OSX.....

Thanks, all the best,
Jeremy

Hi,

>From octave.sourceforge.net/compatibility.html , it says that following
debugging commands exit in octave:
debug_on_error, dbstop, dbclear, quit, dbwhere dbg_cont, dbg_step, dbg_next,
dbstatus.

However, I cannot use dbg_step, dbg_next, dbg_cont. When I type which
dbg_step in octave, it is undefined. Can anyone tell me how to find and use
these commands?

Thanks

Hi,
According to the octave maual, the if statement is considered true if its
value is non-zero, and false if its value is zero. However, when I typed
following command in octave 2.9.8, I got syntax error.

if(1)
parse error:
     syntax error.

Thanks

Hi!
  I am now using octave in linux, earlier  I used Matlab for Digital Signal
Processing.
Now I am not familiar with the non-GUI interface of octave, this make a
difficulty for me to enjoy the merits of octave, and have some little
obstacle for my job. Because now i can only use loctave for job.
I hope i could get the Digital Signal Processing manual from you, as we
know, the Matlab has the simulink, and has the module of DSP thereto. So i
hope i could get some help in this aspects.
Thank you a lot in advance!
