( You probably mean .ods :-) .odt = text, OOo Write) (puzzled) What did you need to do other than just install the octave-3.2.4-MinGW Windows installer that took almost an hour? It should work OOTB... > Now back to Linux, I still want to solve the problem and will do it over > this weekend. I think the java server vs client directory issue is the key. You already found the solution yourself: a simple symlink will do. > I have downloaded Octave 3.4.2 as I see the latest IO > package must have > Octave 3.4. ... because textread, csvread and some other stuff is in "core octave" since 3.3.51 or so and had to be deleted from the io package (otherwise the io pkg versions would "shadow" the native ones in octave itself). If you would need those functions with octave-3.2.4 and you would install the newest io pkg version, you are out of luck. Which boils down to this: if you don't need these functions, you /can/ use io-1.0.14 with older Octave versions. Or better yet: you can just copy the io-1.0.14 scripts over the ones in the io-1.0.13 directory (/usr/share/octave/packages/io-<version> IIRC) But Octave-3.4.2 is superior over 3.2.4 anyway. > I cannot install 3.4.2. from the Ubuntu > repositories and therefore will have to build it.

Hint: search the octave-maintainers list for this.
