I have installed octave-3.4.0 from the OpenSuse 11.4 depositories and it
seems to work fine. I have also installed the octave-devel rpm from the same
source. However, I have had less success with the signal package from
octaveforge. It requires both miscellaneous and struct, and when I go to
install struct, I get the following sequence of errors:
octave:1> pkg list
no packages installed.
octave:2> pkg install struct-1.0.9.tar.gz

Something very similar happens when I go to install miscellaneous
I have gone over to /usr/include/octave-3.4.0/octave, and sure enough, there
is no hdf5.h file. The file oct-hdf5.h exists, but it just seems to test
whether I have libhdf5 installed, which I do, and then tries to include the
hdf5.h file. Is this a packaging error at OpenSuSe? Is the header file
somewhere else? Can I not
just get the hdf5.h file from somewhere and put it in the correct place?
Any assistance appreciated.
