Hi to everybody...

Octplot 0.2.61

thanks for any help

I gather by the error messeges you are using gcc-3.4.4 on cygwin.

I have very bad experiance with gcc-3.4 on cygwin. In fact I could not even get octave itself to work after compiling with this compiler. Did you compile octave yourself or use a prebuilt package?

If you used a prebuilt package than

`mkoctfile -p CXX` -v

will tell you the version of gcc used to compile the package.

Anyway, I recomend gcc-3.3 which is also avaiable using the cygwin setup program.

Please tell me if any of this helped you

thanks for your tip, i could compile octplot with gcc-3.3

next error:
toctave:1> toggle_octplot
error: `addpath' undefined near line 72 column 5
error: evaluating if command near line 68, column 3
error: evaluating if command near line 36, column 1
error: near line 90 of file `/usr/local/share/octave/2.9.3/site/m/octplot/toggle_octplot.m'
octave:1>

but i think that's a problem of octave-forge
it is installed, but maybe I should compile it by myself
Thanks a lot

This is definetly an octave-forge problem since addpath is from octave-forge. Octplot will not run without octave-forge, and I also generally recommended it.

Thanks for answer Shai

i compiled octave by myself, with compiler gcc-3.4, Octave Version 2.9.3. But i tried to install octave-forge from the cygwin-setup.. so now, i have two octave installed. 2.1.xx
./configure in octplot tells me, used Octave 2.9.3 so I think, that's not the problem, but it may be better if I uninstall the cygwin version and compile own versions, with compiler gcc3.4
I will tell you, if it works or not
Thanks for your answer

Ok Shai

now octplot works. I compiled an own version of octave-forge! Also with gcc-3.3 and everything is okay.

Thanks a lot
