Dear Group,
Now that I've learned about some things about Octave's MEX
capability from
http://www.cae.wisc.edu/pipermail/help-octave/2007-March/003473.html
, I need to think about installing the latest Octave. As the
previous post states, 2.9.10. I'm running 2.1.73 in Ubuntu,
which is given to me simply with `apt-get install octave' . I'm
wondering:
1. how best to install 2.9.10 and if I can keep 2.1.73 intact;
2. if 1. happens, can I run the two different versions at will,
in parallel (for example, I'm currently running simulations
in 2.1.73, and I'd like to, at the same time, play around
with 2.9.10 for the MEX work); and
3. what the chances are I'm about to completely mess up my
system!
Also, from http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/download.html, link
`Developmental', which sends you to
ftp://ftp.octave.org/pub/octave/bleeding-edge , I'm not seeing
2.9.10. Does this mean 2.9.10 must be installed by way of the
anonymous CVS option?
Any help one these topics will be much appreciated!
Regards,
Steve
