AW: Need Help with nonlin_redidim in optim

[Wirth, Rosmarie]

Hello Olaf,


this morning I used Octave and tried my old Fit- Script, which cased all these 
problems. Miraculously the Script ran with no Error- Message and the fit looks 
fine.
I tried this also on one of the other Computers, with the same result.

I have no Idea how this happend. I did not change any part of the script or the 
octave setup. But now it works.
Is this your work?

In any way I am really thankful that I can use Octave again.

Thanks for your work and friendly support.
Kind Regards from Germany

Dear Olaf,

thanks for your help.

I can open, read and manipulate all function files. So this is not the Problem.

We checkt whether we have several installations of optim or octave, but this is 
not the case.
On one of our Computers, which is freshly set up, we have the same problem.
Also we are the root-user and there are no non-root-users using this computers. 
To be sure
I deinstalled all packages and reinstalled them like you told. But no change.

The interessting point is, we have the same error on all three Mac computers we 
are using.
We are using the ios " High Sierra".
We have another Person in this office, she is using windows and has no 
Problems, even though
she is using the same skript.

Maybe it has something to do with the ios?

Reegards,
Rosmarie

Yet this looks like an installation
problem. "__collect_contraints__.m" is a part of the optim package,
but it is not found.

If you type, at the Octave prompt:

which nonlin_residmin

the path to nonlin_residmin will be displayed:

'nonlin_residmin' is a function from the file /<some-path>/nonlin_residmin.m

In /<some-path>/ there should be a subdirectory 'private/'. Make sure
it is readable. To test this, you could cd into this subdirectory and
try to list its contents. Within this subdirectory there should be,
among others, the function files '__nonlin_residmin__.m' and
'__collect_constraints__.m'. Make sure all are readable, especially
the latter. To test this, you could try to open them with an editor.

If this doesn't give a clue -- sometimes there are weird problems due
to several concurrent installations of the same package (optim in this
case). E.g., it could be installed from a package provided by the
operating system, from the original Octave Forge package system wide
(with 'pkg' by the root user), and from the original Octave Forge
package not system wide (with 'pkg' by a non-priviledged user). If in
doubt, clear all installations: Start Octave as root, type 'pkg
uninstall optim'. Do the same after starting Octave as non-root. Make
sure not to have an optim package of your operating system installed
somewhere else (or only leave the latter installed).

Before you re-install optim with pkg, make sure to have started Octave
with a suitable 'umask'. E.g., type 'umask 022' from the shell, then
start Octave from this shell.

Please keep the help mailing list CCed.
