Re: package compiling

[ANTON UREVC]

Hej.

A problem related compiling octave package. Error code below - similar to earlier error.
On the web based knowledge it seems that the header files are not properly installed? Also parsing mkoctfile does not provide a solution.

Any information would be helpfull.

Thanks for reply.
Greetings,
Jocker

You need to install the development HDF5 package.
