Re: Octave: symbolic 2.2.3 released

[Constantine Frangos]

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the fast response. I used synaptic package manager
(on ubuntu 14.04) to install SymPy, and the version that appears
in the package manager is SymPy 0.7.4.

How can I install SymPy 0.7.5 via the synaptic package manager ?

(I do not want to risk damaging the linux installation).

Thanks.

Regards,
Constantine.

The error has told you exactly what you need to do. SymPy 0.7.4 is not
supported, the symbolic package will not work correctly. Try installing
SymPy 0.7.5 (or 0.7.6, the latest version).
