Hi - I've just installed Octave 3.4.3, and I have attempted to install the
optimization toolbox, i.e., optim-oct343. This also installs the packages
miscellaneous-oct343 and struct-ocr343, and during the installation of the
first of these it crashes with the message
invalid assignment to cs-list outside multiple assignment
error: called from `dir' in file /sw2/share/octave/3.4.3/m/miscellaneous/dir.m
near line 115, column 26
error: called from:
error: /sw2/share/octave/3.4.3/m/pkg/pkg.m at line 790, column 5
error: /sw2/share/octave/3.4.3/m/pkg/pkg.m at line 361, column 9
error:
/sw2/src/fink.build/miscellaneous-oct343-1.0.11-3/bld/octave-forge-comp at line
4, column 1
I have attached the complete output from which this was taken. Just prior to
this, I ran fink selfupdate, etc.
I'm not sure how to proceed at this point, and would appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
David Holmgren

Before reporting any errors, please run "fink selfupdate" and try again.
If you continue to have issues, please check to see if the FAQ on Fink's
website solves the problem. If not, ask on one of these mailing lists:
The Fink Users List <[email protected]>
The Fink Beginners List <[email protected]>,
with a carbon copy to the maintainer:
Alexander Hansen <[email protected]>
Note that this is preferable to emailing just the maintainer directly,
since most fink package maintainers do not have access to all possible
hardware and software configurations.
Please try to include the complete error message in your report. This
generally consists of a compiler line starting with e.g. "gcc" or "g++"
followed by the actual error output from the compiler.
Also include the following system information:
