Re: octave forge

[Robert Leach]

OK,

Well, I took the suggestion below (to use 2.1.55) and after a timely 
false start, I ran into a new problem with installing octave-forge:

Too many errors!  Gave up.

I think that next, I will try another suggestion that was given that 
isolates the mex portion of the install, but if anyone has a suggested 
fix for the above problem, let me know.

One other thing, now that I have 2.1.55 running, I ran into two quirks:

I had to add `clearplot;` to my .oct scripts that write plots to .png 
files.  Otherwise `gset('output','file1');plot(mydata1); 
gset('output','file2'); plot(mydata2);` plots mydata1 twice to both 
files.

The other thing is I get this error when I start octave:

error: no such file, 
`/usr/local/share/octave/2.1.55/m/miscellaneous//PKG_ADD'
error: source: error sourcing file 
`/usr/local/share/octave/2.1.55/m/miscellaneous//PKG_ADD'

Thanks,
Rob
