Hi, if you use Debian Linux, it can be as simple as entering the commands apt-get install octave2.1 and octave-2.1 will be installed. I don't know how it works w/ other linux distributions, but I think Red Hat and Suse have Octave binary packages. This seems to be what is said on octave's download page http://www.octave.org/download.html You did read the 'binaries' section of that page, right? For Windows -not my area of expertise- it points to cygwin and octave-forge. In the later, at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2888 I see a file called octave-2.1.50a-inst.exe this *may* be a binary for octave itself. Hey! Someone on the list? Is this an octave binary? Anyone who knows, please answer! Hth, Etienne On Sun, Feb 29, 2004 at 07:25:03AM -0800, Saba Karim Shah wrote: # Hi, # # Thanks for your reply, I hope it will be of help.

It uses different registry keys from Cygwin, so it won't interfere with an existing installation. It does not use Atlas or FFTW or HDF. Qhull and GiNaC are not included, so no symbolic and no geometry toolbox. For those without broadband, I would prefer to have these available as separate packages but that will be a project for somebody else. Paul Kienzle pki...@us... |

Do I have this roughly correct for Mac OS X 10.2.8? Henry 1. qhull = symolic tookbox. What does qhull stand for? A recent posting by Per Persson indicated that he's working on it to make it work. 2. ginac = geometry toolbox. What does ginac stand for? As above for qhull re use on Mac OS X. 3. atlas = automatically tuned linear algebra subgroups. No longer needed in OS X 10.2 because atlas is provided as part of vecLib which includes blas, lapack, vDSP, and vMathLib. 4. fftw = discrete fourier transform. Can it be considered to be a toolbox? When I last installed octave 2.1.46 using fink it was part of the installation. I most likely have not used it, would not know how to use it but I know what a discrete fourier tranform is because I use it in the analysis of life cycle graphs. 5. hdf = scientific data format. Can it considered to be a toolbox? What exactly does it do? Fink installed it but I doubt that I've used it, nor would I know how to use it. on 2/29/04 12:48 PM, Paul Kienzle at pki...@us... wrote: > > On Feb 29, 2004, at 11:59 AM, Etienne Grossmann wrote: > >> >> Hi, >> >> if you use Debian Linux, it can be as simple as entering the commands >> >> apt-get install octave2.1 >> >> and octave-2.1 will be installed.

A recent posting by Nope! It's the contrary.
