Follow-up Comment #9, bug #58225 (project octave): There might be another - possibly unrelated - issue: The local package store is in %USERPROFILE%\octave. It is possible to install several different versions of Octave (very easy on Windows). All of these versions share the same local package store. But .oct files are usually not binary compatible between versions. So updating a local package (that includes binaries) in one version of Octave breaks it for the other version. Maybe the local package store should also include the Octave version in the path (at least the major version). Wasn't there a bug report about moving the local package store to %LOCALAPPDATA% or something? Does anyone remember which bug that was? Or should I open a new bug report for this? _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58225> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
