I'm running Octave 3.0.3 on a Mac PowerPC G4 running Mac OS 10.4.11. I'm attempting to install ODEPKG 0.6.4, and thus far I've been unsuccessful. The steps I've been using to install ODEPKG are as follows:

    1. Downloaded the odepkg-0.6.4.tar.gz and placed it in my home directory
    2. Launch Octave.app from the Applications folder on the desktop
    3. Octave.app launches a UNIX terminal window in which Octave is initiated
    4. From the Octave prompt cd to my home directory where odepkg-0.6.4.tar.gz resides
    5. Entered the command, pkg install odepkg-0.6.4.tar.gz, to install the package
    6. The installed produced the following output:

<SNIP>

What am I doing wrong, or what work-around do I need to do to successfully install odepkg?

Hi Sam,

where did you get your /usr/local/bin/gcc 4.3.0 from?

Have you set the CC environment variable? In Octave type

  getenv ("CC")

Best regards,

  Thomas

gcc 4.3.0 came from http://hpc.sourceforge.net/. As for the CC environment variable, I did not have  it set. Now I did enter getenv ("CC") in Octave and attempted to install odepkg with the same results - the install failed (see listing below).

Could the version 4.3.0 of gcc that I obtained from hpc.sourceforge.net be the problem? I have a dot file called .octaverc; should the CC environment variable be set here, and what should it be set to?

Sam Dupree.
