The pkg install command use temporary directory to extract a package, carry out configureation and make binaries. I suspect that your temporary directory does allow 'w' attribution. Please type tmpnam at the octave prompt octave>tmpnam and get the name the temporary directory name and confirm the attribution of the temporary directory octave>ls -l (tmp diretoryname)/..

Okay -
In regards to the earlier question, I am running Ubuntu Jaunty. 2009/8/30 Tatsuro MATSUOKA <tmacchant@...> The pkg install command use temporary directory to extract a package, carry out configureation and >> tmpnam ans = /tmp/oct-SZWwgP >> ls -l /tmp/oct-SZWwgP/.. ls: cannot access /tmp/oct-SZWwgP/..: No such file or directory error: ls: command exited abnormally with status 2 error: called from: error: /usr/share/octave/3.2.0/m/miscellaneous/ls.m at line 66, column 2 For what it's worth, every time I type tmpnam I get a different temporary directory. Don't know if that helps or not, but I figure I'll mention it. -Ron ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Don't know if that helps or not, but I figure I'll mention it. It's supposed to be a file name, not a directory name, and it should be different each time. It should not exist because tmpnam does not create the file, it just generates a name. jwe ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
