Re: Octave on Yosemite

[ailevin]

Dear Sebastian,

I installed 3.8.2-4-atlas-dev with no gui using Fink. I am new to Fink, and I don't know more much than this about what I installed.  Perhaps you could look in the Fink database http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/index.php?phpLang=en. My limited experience is that the Fink install goes much more smoothly on Yosemite than Macports. In fact, even on previous versions of OS X and octave, the Macports install was always a bit of a struggle.

I installed a 3.8.0 bundle with gui  on my previous OS X  system (Mountain Lion 10.9.5 I think). I was not very impressed with the gui. Granted it was in beta, but I am happy with my workflow using an octave terminal window, an editor, and plot/display windows.

Regards

Alan

Dear Alan,

did you build the gui-branch (4.0) or the development version (4.2)? The homebrew builds of octave are also quite stable on Yosemite but they are limited to 3.8.1 and the 4.0-branch. I am currently trying to build 4.2 without success.

Bye
Sebastian
