Or, as an alternative, is there a way to have both octave 2.1 and octave
2.9 installed, and have octave-forge work for both of them? My linux
distribution (MEPIS) has access to Ubuntu repositories, which have
octave 2.1, octave 2.9.6, and octave-forge 2006.3.17-2 available.
However, octave-forge is only linked to octave2.1, (as a dependency) so
when I launch octave2.9, I don't have the octave-forge functionality.
If I just go ahead and install octave2.9, octave2.1, and octave-forge,
is there something simple I can do (in my .octaverc file perhaps) so
that when I sart octave2.9, I get the full octave-forge functionality?
There are differences between 2.9 and 2.1 where many functions from
octave-forge have been merged into 2.9, and so the same copy of
octave-forge cannot be used for 2.1 and 2.9. If your distribution does
not come with a version of octave-forge that works with 2.9, you will need
to make it yourself-- the version that works with 2.1 will not work (and
will probably cause problems).
