You'd want octave364-atlas-dev given the output above. But why are you building odepkg manually? Fink provides one. Try "fink install odepkg-atlas-oct364". -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
