[Please see original message from "Hello all," below]

 

Opps, looks like a bug.. I don't think Thomas who packaged this
installer reads this forum. Can you resend this message to
octave-dev@lists.sourceforge.net which is the preferred means of finding
support with octave-forge.

 

Regards

Hello all, 
 
On Mac Os X 10.5.2 we have installed the sourceforce package
octave-3.0.0-i386.dmg. The package works perfectly out-of-the-box when
run normally (from terminal or from icon). 
 
However, we are building a progam where octave has been embedded, using
mkoctfile. It seems that the octave-3.0.0-i386.dmg file provided for
some reason points to a non-existant directory:  
 
/tmp/dependencies-386/....  
 
instead of the installed location  
 
/Application/Octave.app/Contents/Resources/.... 
 
 
mkoctfile does not work because of this, unless you either update the
paths in octave-config, or eventually put a soft link in /tmp (
/tmp/dependencies-386 -> /Application/Octave.app/Contents/Resources ) 
 
Running the program does not work either, without the soft link. 
( 
./placet-octave 
dyld: Library not loaded:
/tmp/dependencies-i386/lib/libreadline.5.2.dylib 
Referenced from:
/Users/eadli/work/myPlacetDev/placet-development/src/placet-octave 
) 
 
 
 
The soft link in tmp saves the day for me, but I wonder if the
octave-3.0.0-i386.dmg shouldn't rather be provided with the correct
default Mac OS path in order to avoid these problems for future users? 
 
 
Best regards, 
 
Erik Adli
