[Fink-beginners] octave-forge

[Nasimul Haque]

Hello,
I've tried to install octave-forge from fink. It installs fine but the problem is it lacks almost everything I need. I tried to use delaunay in octave and surprisingly I found it's not in the octave-forge. After some google, I found that it requires cln and ginac to perform my task. And both packages are absent in fink repository. So, the solution is to download the source files and compile it by myself. I did and found a bug in readline5. When ginac is configuring, it finds readline5 versions as a string (I forgot the string, sorry!) instead of integer. To handle this manually is very much tough to me. So instead I used readline v4. It was compiled successfully but when I run octave and use delaunay it gets exception (memory leak, I suppose) and force quit octave by itself. So, my question is why cln and ginac are not in the repository? And how to solve readline problem? Please help!
