One further follow-up question. I have installed octave3.2 on my ubuntu machine. I ran: pkg install -local java-1.2.6.tar.gz which appears to install correctly.
pkg list shows java * (with the asterisk to show it is loaded. When I run the command "octave:2> javaclasspath" I get the following error: error: `java_invoke' undefined near line 28 column 12 error: called from: error: /home/ken/octave/java-1.2.6/javaclasspath.m at line 28, column 10 If I look at the java.1.2.6.tar.gz package there is a folder "java-1.2.6.tar\java-1.2.6\java-1.2.6\src\org\octave" which has some java files, including ClassHelper.java among others. Line 28 of javaclasspath.m is: c_path = java_invoke ("org.octave.ClassHelper", "getClassPath"); I am guessing that the .java files did not get installed correctly or are not being found by octave and hence the error. Does anyone have experience with the java package? Can you advise where the problem might be? Thanks, Ken 2009/11/17 Ken <kmai...@googlemail.com>: > Hi Søren, > > Thanks so much for your reply.
