Re: Error installing octave 3.2.4

[Stefan Neumann]

While we are at it, there is a 3.2.3 binary distribution available for ubuntu.
It can be found in the "lucid"(10.04)-repository. 

Cave: Ubuntu 10.04 may still be kind of beta :-)

Add this to /etc/sources.list: 
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted universe multiverse

then:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install octave3.2 octave3.2-headers



Unfortunately 3.2.3 still has this bug which was apparently fixed in 3.2.4:

octave:2>           net = newff(Pr, [4 1], {"tansig","purelin"}, "trainlm", "learngdm", "mse");
error: 
error: called from:
error:   /usr/share/octave/packages/3.2/nnet-0.1.10/newff.m at line 65, column 1
