Re: Problems running octave on osx 10.6.8

[George Profenza]

Ok, I've found the culprit and it's my fault.

I was trying to install Octave XML Toolbox

and ran into errors when running make.

The path to xerces was not found so I added this to .bash_profile:

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

Removing that line resolved my issue.

This leads me to further questions I should probably move to a separate thread:

 - How can I work with XML data in Octave ?

  (I've found and installed the octave-miscellaneous port which should have xml support,

  but I don't know where to look for docs. I've tried calling xml_load, but no joy). 

 - How can I make the plots somewhat interactive ? 

   (A while back when I had an older version of octave installed and it was windowing through X11 I could zoom/pan 2D plots and   

   orbit around 3D plots. Is this possible with gnuplot+Aquaterm ? If so, how ?)

Regards,

George

I haven't seen this before.  Are you able to isolate the Octave command that triggered this? (maybe I can duplicate it?)
