[Ooo-imath-general] Ubuntu 16.04

[Jan R. <jrh...@gm...>]

Hi Bill,

just now I installed Ubuntu 16.04.1 into a virtual machine. Then I added
the PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jrheinlaender/ppa
sudo apt-get update

and did

sudo apt-get install imath

This went through without errors and iMath worked.

Then I removed imath again

sudo apt-get --purge remove imath

and installed the .oxt directly in the extension manager. This gave me
the same error message as you posted.

The reason is that the GiNaC version (on which EQC is built) had an
incompatible version change between Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 16.04.

So I uploaded a new iMath-2.1.4-libginac5.oxt package that works in my
16.04 virtual machine.

Hope this package works for you, too!

Thank you for reporting the problem!

Jan

Nice! I can't wait to try when I get a chance at work. I was going to try
installing from PPA on Friday, but got too busy.

I got a chance to try installing iMath again today on Ubuntu 16.04. I 
installed from PPA and it works as expected. Now I have to learn how to 
use your wonderful Extension.
