Dear all
Having recently updated octave through fink on 10.11.4, I did some testing this
week. It is very convenient that additional octave packages can be installed
using the *-oct382 packages in fink (Nice work, Alexander Hansen :-))
I have come across a bug in octave that I thought may be reported upstream.
When trying to import a spreadsheet, I get the following error even though the
io package is indeed installed:
octave:9> M1 = xlsread('Matrix.xls')
warning: Functions for spreadsheet style I/O (.xls .xlsx .sxc .ods .dbf .wk1
etc.) are provided in the io package. See <http://octave.sf.net/io/
<http://octave.sf.net/io/>>.
Please read <http://www.octave.org/missing.html
<http://www.octave.org/missing.html>> to learn how you can
contribute missing functionality.
error: 'xlsread' undefined near line 1 column 6
octave:9> pkg list
Package Name | Version | Installation directory
--------------+---------+-----------------------
control | 2.8.5 | /sw/share/octave/3.8.2/packages/control-2.8.5
general | 1.3.4 | /sw/share/octave/3.8.2/packages/general-1.3.4
io | 2.2.4 | /sw/share/octave/packages/io-2.2.4
signal | 1.3.0 | /sw/share/octave/3.8.2/packages/signal-1.3.0
specfun | 1.1.0 | /sw/share/octave/3.8.2/packages/specfun-1.1.0
statistics | 1.2.4 | /sw/share/octave/3.8.2/packages/statistics-1.2.4
struct | 1.0.10 | /sw/share/octave/3.8.2/packages/struct-1.0.10
The fink octave install is indeed built with java support:
octave:10> octave_config_info ("features").JAVA
ans = 1
Has anybody else also had or know of a similar problem ?
(BTW, the spreadsheet opens normally in Numbers)
Regards,
Ebrahim
