Oops,

I was a bit quick to say that yapso installed correctly:

The install died with
checking for glBegin in -lGL... no

but

Saturn:~ marius$ nm /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.dylib | grep glBegin
00002d7c T ___indirect_glBegin
         U _glBegin
         U ___indirect_glBegin
         U ___indirect_glBegin

Any ideas?

Marius,

As far as I know the pkg install feature is broken on Macs with
octave-2.9.9. The untar.m routine was having Mac problems, and I offered to
be the Mac tester, but nobody responded. I was waiting for 2.9.10 before
trying again. You could probably work around the problem by manually using
mkoctfile and manually installing the package. YAPSO sounds very promising.

Joe

Thank you for sharing your experience with untar. What is very strange is that 
absolute file names
seem to work. I suspect something wrong with canonicalize_file_name or chdir. I 
attached a modified
untar file with some debugging information. Can you execute this modified untar 
like:

untar('yapso-0.2.1.tar.gz','test-dir')

and send us the output? Make sure that you use the attached version with "which 
untar".


Thanks
Alex


In 2.9.9 there is an assumption that GNU tar is used. This has been
removed in the CVS and it will work on MACs. However, you can't just
take pkg.m, but need a number of other changes and so either a full CVS
is recommended or wait for 2.9.10. This is the major reason I haven't
uploaded the packages of octave-forge to sourceforge or changed the
website over to the new octave-forge web site.

Hi,

David is right, the pkg function (meanwhile) works fine with the latest CVS from octave on MacOSX (tested the 30min old CVS version right now). Use the pkg function always with the absolute path and filename, eg.

  pkg install /Users/MyHome/SomeWhere/yapso-0.2.1.tar.gz

Another thing is that if I use the pkg function and I take an invalid filename then I don't get an error anymore? Is this wanted? On Mac this means

  octave:18> pkg install /Users/Me/yapso-0.
  octave:19> pkg list
    No packages installed.
  octave:20> pkg install /Users/Me/yapso-0.2.1.tar.gz
  octave:21> pkg list
    Package Name | Version | Installation directory
    -------------+---------+-----------------------
           yapso |   0.2.1 | /Users/Me/octave/yapso-0.2.1

Before I downloaded the latest CVS I think I got an error like "error: can't find file" or something like that.

Thanks,
Thomas
