After compiling and installing octave-3.0.0 on a Linux x86_64
system (home-built custom) I cannot install any packages from
octave-forge.
Using the command:
pkg install package-name
will result in the following message:
warning: save: unable to save global_packages in ASCII format
This indicates that the package has been compiled and
actually installed but the share/octave/octave_packages file
cannot be written with the name of the package. Consequently,
even though all the package files are present, the package
cannot be loaded. Issuing the command:
pkg load package-name
will only report "package <package-name> is not installed"
The package also cannot be uninstalled, unless I manually
remove the directories containing the package files.
How can this be fixed? Using previous versions of octave
I had no problem with installing or loading packages.
Has anyone else experienced this problem with octave-3.0.0?
Regards,
Andrew Kalten
