[OctDev] Image package installation fails with 64-bit indexing

[Fredrik L. <fre...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I have Octave configured with --enable-64 and I can't get the image 
package to build with this setup:

octave:6> pkg install -forge image

octave_idx_type, int) [with ET = octave_int<signed char>, MT = 
intNDArray<octave_int<signed char> >, ET_OUT = double, octave_idx_type = 
long int]':

Is there a way to make this work or can I "disable" that the signal 
package (which is what I really want to install) depends on the image 
package?
