Hi Tom (and BBEdit Support),
I just downloaded Octave.app 3.0.2 from SourceForge. I am still
getting the extraneous error message (which I'll refer to as [E]):
warning: load_path: ./Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/
libexec/octave/3.0.2/site/oct/powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.1: No such file
or directory
when and only when I run certain octave scripts directly from BBEdit.
This warning message never appears with versions of Octave.app
earlier than 3.0.1.
I have narrowed the problem down to the cd function (I think). A
simple script will illustrate the point:
pwd
cd
pwd
cd
pwd
cd
pwd
cd
pwd
The output from this script (other than a "GNU Octave" preamble)
should be
ans = /
ans = /Users/vic
ans = /Users/vic
ans = /Users/vic
ans = /Users/vic
(with the appropriate home directory substituted for /Users/vic).
This is the output I get when I run the script in octave or "in
Terminal" from BBEdit. It is also the Octave.app-3.0.0-or-earlier
output when the script is run directly from BBEdit. However, the
output from Octave.app 3.0.1 or 3.0.2, when run directly from BBEdit,
has 4 [E] error messages tagged onto the end.
This [E] problem is clearly a BBEdit problem since it only happens
when the octave of Octave.app is run directly from BBEdit. But the
[E] problem is also a current Octave.app problem since it only
happens with Octave.app 3.0.1 and 3.0.2 (and not with Octave.app
3.0.0, 2.9.18, 2.9.17. 2.9.16, 2.9.15, ...).
It would be great if either you and your Octave.app cohorts or the
BBEdit people could figure out what is causing the [E] problem!

Vic Norton

P.S. To BBEdit Support (in general) and Patrick Woolsey (in particular):
You can test Octave.app very easily. Just download the
appropriate .dmg file from <http://octave.sourceforge.net>, open the
disk image, and drop Octave.app into your Applications folder. Then
run the above script with the shebang line
#!/Applications/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/octave
Or you can run Octave.app from any other folder by modifying the
shebag line appropriately.

Hi,
I have uploaded the compressed disc images *.dmg including
Octave.app 3.0.2
for PPC Mac OS X and i386 Mac OS X to the SourceForge's server. You
can get
it from http://octave.sourceforge.net. Please read the Readme.html
file that
comes with the *.dmg about 'Installation', 'FAQ', 'Limitations', etc.
I'm very happy to see more than 7.700 downloads over the past 4
months for
Octave.app 3.0.1. However, if you like GNU Octave then please also
think
about of making a contribution to the Octave Core Development team. A
description can be found at http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/
funding.html.
Recent changes:
- the latest stable Octave 3.0.2 sources available have been used
to build
these binaries,
- Gnuplot.app 4.2.3 can be found in the Extras directory of the *.dmg.
Again, please read the Readme.html file about 'Installation',
'Limitations', 'FAQ', etc. for Gnuplot.app of that compressed
disc image.
- the checksums of the *.dmg are
- MD5 (octave-3.0.2-ppc.dmg) = ddb82873f115b05bc63cdfc94715559f
- MD5 (octave-3.0.2-i386.dmg) = 2530999a5cd50a8628345bcf8d064edf

Thomas
