After successfully installing octave-2.1.46 (from fink binary) and ghostscript6 (via fink install), I'm trying to install octave-forge via "fink install octave-forge." The Makefile goes OK for a while, then I get the following error exit:
Symbolic linking rsdec.oct Symbolic linking bchenco.oct Symbolic linking bchdeco.oct Making texinfo comms.texi Making info comms.info Making dvi comms.dvi fflush error on stdout /sw/bin/texi2dvi: tex: command not found /sw/bin/texi2dvi: tex exited with bad status, quitting. /sw/bin/texi2dvi: see comms.log for errors. make[2]: *** [comms.dvi] Error 1 rm syndtable.d primpoly.o isprimitive.d cyclgen.d syndtable.o cyclpoly.d isprimitive.o _errcore.d _gfweight.d primpoly.d cyclgen.o cyclpoly.o comms.texi _errcore.o _gfweight.o make[1]: *** [comm/] Error 2 make: *** [main/] Error 2 ### execution of make failed, exit code 2 Failed: compiling octave-forge-2003.06.02-1 failed [pcp05455179pcs:~] joekoski% I saw this error before when I tried to install octave-forge into /usr/local via a makefile from octave-forge, and the solution then was to remove the documentation target from the document Makefile. Is it my version of texi2dvi(from the GNU site)? [pcp05455179pcs:/usr/bin] joekoski% where texi2dvi /usr/local/bin/texi2dvi [pcp05455179pcs:/usr/bin] joekoski% texi2dvi -v texi2dvi (GNU Texinfo 4.6) 1.23 What do I need to do to get this install to work. Install another texinfo? Use the old one? I've renamed the old texi2dvi in /usr/bin. My previous attempts to install octave-2.1.50 and octave-forge into /usr/local failed to achieve a working combination (the shared libraries didn't work), so I removed all those files, and am now attempting to install octave and octave-forge into /sw via fink. Any help will be appreciated. Joe Koski ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
