Dear all,
I am trying to install the octave package odepkg with no success. I have very
little experience with all this, and so I would be very grateful if someone
points out what I am doing wrong and how I should proceed.
It seems that I need octave364-dev installed, but for some reason I didn't
manage to have both octave and octave364-dev installed at the same time. Next I
describe my attempt in detail.
After downloading odepkg-0.8.4.tar, my first step in this attempt was, within
octave:
pkg install ~/Downloads/odepkg-0.8.4.tar
I got:
sh: /sw/bin/mkoctfile-3.6.4: No such file or directory
warning: unable to find mkoctfile in expected location:
'/sw/bin/mkoctfile-3.6.4'
warning: mkoctfile exited with failure status
.
.
.
checking for mkoctfile... /sw/bin/mkoctfile-3.6.4
error: called from 'pkg>configure_make' in file
/sw/share/octave/3.6.4/m/pkg/pkg.m near line 1373, column 9
error: called from:
error: /sw/share/octave/3.6.4/m/pkg/pkg.m at line 827, column 5
error: /sw/share/octave/3.6.4/m/pkg/pkg.m at line 383, column 9
I googled this problem and got the impression that I need to install
octave364-dev. To this end, I tried:
fink install octave364-dev
and got:

Fink isn't sure how to install the above packages safely. You may be able to
fix things by running:
fink scanpackages
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install octave364-dev=3.6.4-9 octave364-shlibs=3.6.4-9
octave364=3.6.4-9

I followed the suggestion given in the error message above:

Everything went fine, except that the octave has been removed. I proceeded to
reinstall it:
fink install octave-atlas

I.e. I got an error message analogous to the one I got when tried to install
octave364-dev through fink. Again I followed the suggestion given in the error
message:

That is, I now have octave back, but octave364-dev is gone... In summary, I do
not know how to get out of this loop, and any help will be very welcome.
Best,
Paulo
