(cc'ing the graphicsmagick maintainer) Interestingly enough, when I googled around about this issue, it looks like other folks (cygwin, at least) have decided to patch graphicsmagick-1.3.12 rather than octave-3.2.4: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?29474 A report from Macports: http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/Cannot-read-an-image-with-imread-on-Mac-td3339046.html I'm trying to figure out how to patch Octave-3.2.4 instead, but it hasn't quite worked yet. - -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk55EkkACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ/pZQCeIInf+vclio0HurjOxpgIICbc rwUAn2dP3fNbUu3csXrUDxO2wqdk1QiT =FrY4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
