The problem here is that signal-oct305 installs _only_ for octave-3.0.5, and it is invisible to other versions of Octave.
You have a few options: 1) Use the "octave-3.0.5" command to run that version. One issue here is that the internal GNU info documentation won't be available. 2) Use "fink install octave-3.0.5" to make the "octave" executable correspond to that version. One drawback here is that "fink update-all" will replace octave-3.0.5 with octave-3.6.3, but on the other hand, you'll have the octave-3.0.5 documentation. 3) Install signal-oct363 to get a signal package which goes with octave-3.6.3. --Alex On 1/29/13 8:59 PM, Bob M wrote: > Thank you.
