Well, at least one thing will need to get fixed - qtoctave starts octave, which in 4.0.0 starts the gui - so you end up with two guis active, and probably a non-working qtoctave. Looks like you need to pass "--no-gui" option to octave. The new octave qui is Qt based, so you might like it :). -- Orion Poplawski Technical Manager 303-415-9701 x222 NWRA, Boulder/CoRA Office FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane or...@nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 http://www.nwra.com -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
