Hi everyone
I am mostly new to Linux, and have switched almost entirely from Windows &
MATLAB to Linux and Octave. That said, I may ask something very simple and
stupid :-). I am running Ubuntu 11.10 on a 64-bit machine.
I had installed octave (and QT octave) from the ubuntu repository, then
realized that the java-1.2.8 package requires a newer version, so I
uninstalled octave and downloaded the binaries for 3.4.3. It compiled and
installed without me observing any errors, and for the most part seems ok.
I expanded the tarball into my downloads folder, and ran the installation
from there (into /usr/local/share). My first (easy) question is do I have
to keep these installation files?
Secondly: when I'm in octave, if I execute "help func" where func is not one
my own functions, I get the message
""sh: makeinfo: not found
warning: help: Texinfo formatting filter exited abnormally; raw Texinfo
source of help text follows..."
I have the latest version of texi2html installed. If someone can help me
get this working, I'll be very appreciative.
Andrew
