Octave built for Slitaz

[Bigler Stéphane]

Hi folks,
I just wanna let you know that Slitaz development guys built gfortran and 
octave 3.2.4 for their distro (http://www.slitaz.org).

You can check this out:

All the best.
Stephane

Dear members,

I try to compile octave to have make it usable for Slitaz users (a really nice 
light linux based).

I have gcc installed and gfortran (I thougth it was needed but not sure).

I am faced to the following message when running:
$./configure
...
checking for gfortran... gfortran
checking whether we are using the GNU Fortran 77 compiler... no
checking whether gfortran accepts -g... no
checking how to get verbose linking output from gfortran... configure: WARNING: 
compilation failed

checking for Fortran 77 libraries of gfortran...
checking for dummy main to link with Fortran 77 libraries... none
checking for Fortran 77 name-mangling scheme... configure: error: in 
`/home/sbigler/T?l?chargements/octave-3.2.4':
configure: error: cannot compile a simple Fortran program
See `config.log' for more details.
$

Here is a portion of config.log saying:
...
configure:10008: checking for Fortran 77 libraries of gfortran
configure:10031: gfortran -o conftest -O conftest.f -lm
/usr/local/gfortran/libexec/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.0/f951: error while 
loading shared libraries: libmpc.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such 
file or directory
...

Obviously, libmpc.so.2 is missing. And I found that this library is apparently 
supplied by:
http://www.multiprecision.org/

Could anyone give me advices on how to make running octave?

Thank you for helping
St?phane

Your gfortran installation is broken. Try reinstalling. It might be a
problem if your gfortran package version doesn't match your gcc
package version.

I build Octave from the sources, but use Fink to satisfy its dependencies. I 
expect the MacPorts can also satisfy all dependencies.

If you'd like more info let me know.

Thanks very much for all the replies I received on this thread. Plotting is not 
crucial to my script, so I have disabled all plotting. The script now runs fine.

Best regards

David,

did you enable somehow multi-bytes fonts in gnuplot ? For instance, having
gnuplot*font: mbfont:-*-times new
roman-medium-r-normal-*-*-*-100-100-*-*-iso10646-*
in .Xresources, or explicitelly specifying a utf-8 font ?

Regards

Pascal

Hello,

I'm trying to find the cause of a problem, which seems to occur inside
octave when using gnuplot multi-plot mode (octave hold on/hold off command)
and multi-bytes fonts(utf8, set for gnuplot through .Xresources). I tested
gnuplot legacy (4.2) as well as 4.4rc-1 and 4.5 and got the same results. As
usual, simple graphs inside octave appear as expected, but more complex ones
generate a lot of errors, like f.i.
multiplot> et origin 0, 0
           ^
           line 2: invalid command

I've noticed that the function gnuplot_drawnow (in
/usr/share/octave/3.2.2/m/plot) can duplicate the commands sent to gnuplot
into a file by using the function fifth argument. How can I get a trace of
everything which was sent to gnuplot ? Can this fifth argument be set before
gnuplot is started by octave?

Regards

Pascal

You can download the prebuilt Octave.app from
Octave-Forge
It has the fltk backend. Octave.app is a Apple package that is launched by 
double-clicking on its icon. So that I can launch it by typing octave into a 
terminal window, I wrote a script titled 'octave' that contains the line:
/Applications/octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave

If you are on Snow Leopard, by default, MacPorts now compiles 64 bit dependency 
libraries. This leaves me in a bit of a quandary because I'm afraid of breaking 
one or more apps by downloading new packages in either 64 bit or 32 bit 
varieties.
