I have successfully used MacPorts to port Octave and the Image package (after much work). However, other packages that I am interested in were at 1 or more revs behind what is on octavesourceforge.net and thus missing functions that I need. So I started to look at alternatives and it seems to me the best place to get the most up-to-date Octave and Octave packages is at octavesourceforge.net. Most of the packages at this site are very straight forward to install.... but the image package seems to be a bear (for me anyway). I have a couple of questions.
1) The description of the image package lists buildrequires - jpg- devel. Do I need to install jpg-devel before installing the image pkg? If so where can I get it? I googled for it but could not find it. 2) Can someone give me instructions for installing ImageMagick for MAC OS X 10.4.11 so that it works with Octave/Image pkg? I tried using the instructions given in the Octave readme file for installing the gsl package but this did not work (it failed to make). i got the ImageMagick-6.4.6-2.tar.gz from the ImageMagick ftp site. 3) Is GraphMagick also a requirement? I see some comments about this in some of the forums but it is not listed as a requirement in the Image package description on octavesourceforge.net. My system: MacBook Pro, OS X 10.4.11, Intel Thanks, Bob ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Octave-dev mailing list Octave-dev@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/octave-dev
