Alex,
Thanks, it does appear to find the latest version now. That was very
helpful
(by the way, am I correct to reply to the listserve and not to your
email?)
fink install octave
does go through and download a lot of file, but eventually it gets to
octave-2.9.13
itself and the following happens:
curl --connect-timeout 30 -f -L -A 'fink/0.27.6' -O ftp://
ftp.octave.org/pub/octave/bleeding-edge/octave-2.9.13.tar.gz

--:--:-- 932k
The checksum of the file is incorrect. The most likely cause for this
is a
corrupted or incomplete download
Expected: 2d6db5c0400671ccc039d1e2c52b4280
Actual: MD5(493e9dfc66bfda1ea270bf1dfc8ec6cc)
SHA1(943300c3c86faedb8639bd63fd52c2cdbd47d0fd)
Downloading the file "octave-2.9.13.tar.gz" failed.
(1) Give up
(2) Retry the same mirror
How do you want to proceed? [2]
I choose (2) a few times and it always fails at the end.
Any ideas on this one?
Thanks again for your help,
Robert
