error: imread: invalid image file

[Seetha Parameswaran]

Hello,

The following error message was got when i compiled 

error: imread: invalid image file: imread: image reading capabilities were disabled when Octave was compiled

error: called from:

error:   /usr/local/share/octave/3.6.3/m/image/imread.m at line 74, column 7

error:   /home/compaq/project/octave/similaritymeasures.m at line 6, column 7

The file similaritymeasures.m uses imread() to read an image.

The file was successfully compiled and running in previous version of Octave3.2 and Image toolbox 1.x

Now I have upgraded to Octave3.6.1 and Image2.0.0.

The OS is Ubuntu 12.04 in both cases.

How do I solve this.

Thank you in advance.

Regards

Seetha
