Re: Availability of GNU Octave 3.8 on Windows

[Russ Fretenburg]

Hi Markus,

Thanks for the quick reply. I had Octave 3.6 installed but I uninstalled it.

The problem seems to be that there is another libstdc++-6.dll on my computer from Tomboy, which uses GTK#. When I try to start Octave with gui I get the following error:

"The procedure entry point __gxx_personality_v0 could not be located in the dynamic link library libstdc++-6.dll"

So when I add the Octave directory (C:\Octave\Octave-3.8.0\bin) to the beginning of the path then it seems to find the correct libstdc++-6.dll and the Octave gui works. But then Tomboy doesn't work any more because it finds the Octave libstdc++-6.dll.

Thanks,

RF

Hi Markus,

Thank you for the Windows build. I just installed it this morning and I have
a problem with running the gui version. It did not work at first because
there is a conflict between two different versions of libstdc++-6.dll. I had
to add the Octave bin directory to my path earlier on the list so that it
was found before the other version.

What other octave directory? I recommend to uninstall every 3.7.x and 3.8.x.RC versions.

For me it works fine on Windows 7. (I've never tested Win 8 by the way)

And - to make it clear ;) - I'm no windows user. I've just build it for usage at work ;) It's an untouched mxe build http://hg.octave.org/mxe-octave/

 

With that change I could run the Octave
gui but then the other program would not start. The other program is Tomboy
Notes, which I use every day.

Tomboy? What tomboy to do with octave?

 

Do you have any idea how to work around this
problem?

>From the little bit I used the Octave gui, it looks great. I am really
excited to have a nice GUI for Octave.

Thanks
RF
