Hello,
I hope this is the correct list to post this question. I have been trying to
move completely to GNU Octave instead of using Matlab on the mac. Octave 3.2.4
is installed on my machine, mac os x 10.6.8 (snow leopard) using the MacPorts
distribution. I'm interested in doing some symbolic calculations. The symbolic
pkg loaded with the following warnings:
octave:1> pkg install ~/Downloads/symbolic-1.0.9.tar.gz
octave_help_OlwdEG:16: Misplaced {.
octave_help_OlwdEG:16: Misplaced }.
warning: gen_doc_cache: unusable help text in 'poly2sym'. Ignoring function.
octave_help_puO7Lr:17: Misplaced {.
octave_help_puO7Lr:17: Misplaced }.
warning: gen_doc_cache: unusable help text in 'sym2poly'. Ignoring function.
To start I attempted to declare some symbols, at which point octave gave the
following error message:
octave:1> symbols
octave:2> x = sym("x")
octave(95278) malloc: *** error for object 0x7fff70f01500: pointer being freed
was not allocated
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
panic: Abort trap -- stopping myself...
attempting to save variables to `octave-core'...
save to `octave-core' complete
Abort trap
I don't know if this is related to the warning message above, but I'm looking
for some guidance on how to resolve this issue. The MacPorts install includes
the following (which I believe are necessary for the symbolic pkg to work):
cln @1.3.1_0 (active)
GiNaC @1.5.8_0+test (active)
gmp @5.0.2_1 (active)
Thanks,
-Mark
