Re: octave updated to 3.4.0-3. Please test

[findtype]

Hi Marco,

Here's two cents' worth of testing....

(1) Function definition and call to imread() worked fine:

     function [ I ] = readImage()

          I = imread( "scene1.jpg" );

          fprintf( "Image size read in:\n" );

          [m,n,k] = size( I )

     endfunction

(2) Graphing a "chirped" sine wave via plot() failed:

     function makePlot()

          m = 1000;

          a = [1/m:1/m:1]';

          b = zeros( size(a) );

          for( i=1:m )

               b(i,1) = sin( 2*pi/a(i,1) );

          end

          plot(a,b)

          grid( "on" );

     endfunction

     This drew the following....

     error: Invalid call to strcat.  Correct usage is:

              -- function File:  strcat (S1, S2, ...)

     error: called from:
     error: /usr/share/octave/3.4.0/m/help/print_usage.m at line 87, column 5

     etc. etc.

So, I must have installed something incorrectly, since it worked previously with 

     cygwin 1.7.8-1, 

     octave 3.4.0-2, 

     libgfortran3 4.3.4-3, 

     libGraphicsMagick3-1.3.12-2.  Would you please look into this and let me know what to correct?

Regards,

Ted F.

I guess you need to subscribe.

I have only Win XP 32 , not Vista32 so I can not try.

Could you send me the stackdump and the output of ListDlls ?
