The version on source forge follows Matlab's later versions; the one in Ubuntu repositories follows the Control Systems Toolbox's earlier way of doing things. I am teaching a Feedback and Control class and use the Franklin and Powell text. It uses the earlier way of doing things, and the version in the repositories is better for that. I wish Matlab wouldn't always change things.

Hi

I am using Ubuntu 10.10 and octave 3.2.4 as installed from ubuntu
software centre.

I try to install the control package from forge but get dependency
issues.

                 octave-3.2.4:2>  pkg install control-2.0.0.tar.gz
                 error: the following dependencies where unsatisfied:
                    control needs octave>= 3.3.90

How should I work around this? Is there a prev version of the control
package or should I update my octave? (not immediately obvious through
ubuntu . . .)

I had a reply on a forum from Lukas saying:
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/forums/forum/8521/topic/4375166)

                 "You need the development snapshots 3.3.90 to 3.3.92 or
                 the stable Octave 3.4.0 release in order to run
                 control-2.0.0 properly. You can ask the ubuntu
                 maintainers to create a recent Octave package or you can
                 try to build your own version from source."

Would someone be able to help me further to this problem.

Many thanks in advance

Jez

Hi,

there's a version of the control package in the ubuntu package
repositories. Have you tried using that one? It should at least install
without problems. Otherwise, building octave 3.4 from source on ubuntu
isn't rocket science either. The most difficult part is getting all the
dependencies.

Greetings,
Laurent.
