Replace endwhile with endfor.

It is now fixed in CVS.

Thanks,

Hi,


I if type:

dpkg -l octave2.1 octave-forge
octave
randn(3)

then I obtain the exact same output as Dirk does but here is my next problem:

octave:6> plot3(1,2,3)
parse error near line 93 of file /usr/share/octave/2.1.55/site/m/octave-forge/plot/plot3.m

    endwhile
               ^

error: `for' command matched by `endwhile' near line 93 column 5
error: `plot3' undefined near line 6 column 1


Regards,

Jean-Michel

Well, I started with the latest and installed the octave-forge package in its version '2004.02.12-2' which I guess means version 2.1.54 or so because it
installed the libs in /usr/share/octave/2.1.54/site/m/octave-forge
[...]
I have then removed octave2.1 and octave-forge (from 'Debian unstable') to
install those from 'Debian testing' which are:
octave2.1      2.1.53-4
octave-forge 2003.06.02-8 (I guess 2.1.50 when referring to install path)

and then again I am getting into the same problems.

Wait until later this afternoon (US time, so say another five or so hours) until the new revision of octave-forge (that I mailed about earlier) becomes
available on the mirrors.

If everything else fails, you could also always consider compiling it locally.

Hth, Dirk
