Install packages in Mac OS X

[Xin Dong-2]

Hi,

Has anyone successfully installed octave-forge packages with snow  
leopard and octave 3.2.2? I tried to install image-1.0.10.tar.gz, but  
failed.

Part of the error message:

   "intNDArray<octave_int<unsigned char> >::increment_index
(Array<int>&, dim_vector const&, int)", referenced from:
       octave_value_list do_filtering<intNDArray<octave_int<unsigned  
char> >, octave_int<unsigned char>, intNDArray<octave_int<unsigned  
char> >, octave_int<unsigned char> >(intNDArray<octave_int<unsigned  
char> > const&, boolNDArray const&, octave_int<unsigned char> (*)
(intNDArray<octave_int<unsigned char> >&, int, int),  
intNDArray<octave_int<unsigned char> > const&, int)in  
__spatial_filtering__.o
ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [__spatial_filtering__.oct] Error 1

Thanks in advance for any help,
Xin

I don't have Snow Leopard yet, but you might try this. It works for me.
    1) Download "Octave.app for Mac OS X" from
          <http://octave.sourceforge.net/>.
    2) Drop the Octave application into your Applications folder.
    3) To be able to use the shebang line
          #!/usr/local/bin/octave
       in your scripts, do
          $ sudo ln -s \
            /Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave \
            /usr/local/bin
       in Terminal.

Regards,

Vic

Hi Vic, hi Xin,

I think the problem is a bit more complex. Apple has changed some more things
from Leopard to Snow Leopard and with Snow Leopard everything that has to do
with Octave's mkoctfile is broken now (ie. installing packages, the 'mkoctfile'
command itself, the command 'mex', and so on) - in detail: Snow Leopard's linker
does not accept my 10.4 build libraries anymore and that's why linking against
my binaries completely fails. I've already commented on a similar problem here

   http://www-old.cae.wisc.edu/pipermail/bug-octave/2009-September/009375.html

Just because of my own interest - what is the current GCC version from Snow
Leopard's XCode tools? Is there at least a gfortran available?

Best regards

   Thomas

Hi Thomas,

I've been running Snow Leopard since the morning it was released.

$ gcc --version
i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646)

I don't think gfortran is included (it's not in /usr/bin).

The biggest annoyance has been that the old .la files no longer work (my Fink packages are currently a mess). I deleted all .la files in the Fink directory structure and rebuild the appropriate package when an .la file comes up missing.

I can *almost* build a functioning Octave. It compiles, but crashes during "make check". If I run and then exit, I get a core dump. I wish I had time to look into what is happening but I have very little spare time at present.

Ben

Thanks Thomas! This thread settles one thing for me. I have a copy of  
Snow Leopard coming from Amazon. I definitely will NOT install it  
until I can install an Octave that will work with it. I depend on  
Octave. I can do without Snow Leopard.

Regards,

Vic
