Problems in installing Octave General package

[coccoinomane]

Hi,

this is my first post to this mailing list. I am a PhD student in  
Cosmology and I often use Octave. I really appreciate it as a  
convenient alternative to Matlab.

I am performing some intensive number crunching hence I would like to  
use both CPUs of my MacBook Pro, which runs Mac Os X 10.6, aka Snow  
Leopard. I therefore downloaded the Octave General package from Octave  
Forge to make use of the parcellfun function for parallel computing (http://octave.sourceforge.net/general/index.html 
) .

I tried to install the package with the usual command:
pkg install general-1.1.3.tar.gz
but I got a lot of errors, mainly complains about dynamical libraries  
not being of the required architecture (please see the output below).

As a side note, I installed Octave from the Octave.app project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/files/Octave%20MacOSX%20Binary 
), hence I did not compile it on my machine.

Thank you for any help!

Cheers,

Guido Walter Pettinari

P.S. Can I attach text files or PDFs to my email while sending it to  
the mailing list?

Guido,
Another user posted recently a link to a procedure that apparently makes
mkoctfile work on Snow Leopard, see:

http://www.nabble.com/Octave.app-3.2.3-for-Mac-OS-X-10.4.x-and-10.5.x-td25727982.html#a25798474

I only have Os X 10.5 on my machines so I cannot check myself whether  
it helps,
if it does work for you please report back to the list

c.

Hi Carlo,

thank you for your help. I managed to install the package by following  
the indications found in http://www.supermegaultragroovy.com/blog/2009/09/17/installing-octave-packages-in-snow-leopard/ 
. The solution is to add the following snippet

CFLAGS="-m32 ${CFLAGS}"
FFLAGS="-m32 ${FFLAGS}"
CPPFLAGS="-m32 ${CPPFLAGS}"
CXXFLAGS="-m32 ${CXXFLAGS}"
LDFLAGS="-m32 ${LDFLAGS}"

in the file Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/mkoctfile-3.2.3 just  
after the "set -e" line. The problem was that in Snow Leopard  
compilers try always to build in 64bit, while libraries shipped with  
Octave are 32 bit. The -m32 flag forces the compiler to build 32bit  
programs.

Cheers,

Guido
