Re: Which version of Octave?

No, if you use fink to do the installation, that's exactly what to do.

I used the CVS version only because I was trying to fix some problems in
the controls toolbox and needed to use the most up-to-date sources.

- Follow standard download instructions (I've been using CVS for about a month) - set environment variables to point to libraries, includes (I use fink for a lot of things, so my flags are ... )
CFLAGS="-L/sw/lib -I/sw/include"
FLIBS="-L/sw/lib -lg2c"
LDFLAGS="-L/sw/lib"

Configure with
./configure -enable-shared --enable-dl --disable-static

then make and make install as normal. (I always use gnuplot, not aquaterm, so this is fine for me.)

Hi. When I installed octave the first time, I used fink ('fink install octave' and let fink do its thing) without setting any of those flags (noted above). Did I mess up? I also use gnuplot vice aquaterm. I don't believe I've had any problems, but, then, I'm not a heavy octave user.

Cheers.
