 Well, works well after issuing

 which is the directory where all the forge functions are kept.

Yes, it was stated somewhere that environment variables like LOADPATH
were replaced by functions like addpath(pathname), I don't recall
where.
Just a (bit off-topic?) question: I installed octave 2.9 from Etch. Now
it doesn't seem to be included anymore. What to do now?

What do you mean? I am using octave 2.9.9 on Debian Etch. Octave 2.9 is
included in Debian Etch.

octave and octave-forge

2007-04-16 Thread Olafur Jens Sigurdsson
Hi, I am trying to use octave2.9 in unstable (version 2.9.10 atm) but
each time I try to call a function from octave-forge I get something
like error: dmlread' undefined near line 2 column 1, none of the
octave variables like DEFAULT_LOADPATH or LOADPATH are set, at least I
get an empty respons by issuing getenv(DEFAULT_LOADPATH) and if I try
to set LOADPATH by issuing 

putenv(LOADPATH, /usr/share/octave/site/api-v22/m/octave2.9-forge//)

I still get the same respons if I call dmlread for instance (and the
file is in that dir structure under io).

Any ideas

Best regards

Oli

Hello Roberto.

AFAIK, octave-forge is an add-on to octave with aditional fuctions.

I have installed this octave stuff:


[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg -l | grep octave
ii  octave 2.1.69-1   GNU Octave language for numerical
computatio
ii  octave-ci  99.09-2Contributed functions for the GNU
Octave lan
ii  octave-forge   2004.11.16-7   Contributed functions for GNU Octave
from ht
ii  octave2.1  2.1.69-1   GNU Octave language for numerical
computatio
ii  octave2.1-doc  2.1.69-1   PDF documentation on the GNU Octave
language
ii  octave2.1-html 2.1.69-1   HTML documentation on the GNU Octave
languag
ii  octave2.1-info 2.1.69-1   GNU Info documentation on the GNU

Enjoy!

Ramiro.

from http://octave.sourceforge.net/

 The GNU Octave Repository is intended to be a central location for 
custom scripts, functions and extensions for GNU Octave


octave-forge is a library of functions and scripts which enhance 
octave.  You will probably need this.  For instance if you want to do 
any optimaztion like least squared fitting, you will want this package.
