Re: Octave 2.1.37 available for ftp

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

Thanks -- I am currently uploading 2.1.37, incl the small mkopt.pl patch, to
Debian.  

But even with the patch, building octave-forge fails:

/usr/bin/g++ -c -fPIC -I/usr/include/octave-2.1.37
-I/usr/include/octave-2.1.37/octave -I/usr/include -mieee-fp
-fno-implicit-templates -O2 -DHAVE_OCTAVE_21 getfield.cc -o getfield.o
getfield.cc: In function class octave_value_list Fgetfield(const
octave_value_list &, int)':

octave_value::do_struct_elt_index_op (string &, bool)'

This is using the 2002.05.09 release of octave-forge. Is there something I
need from CVS to deal with this?

Thanks, Dirk
