I tried 5.7.0 - 5.7.4 but none of them would even build the octave bindings. This is a little puzzling because I think that I did have it working at one point, thus the note on the wiki about Octave working (before I changed the wiki just now). -Hazen ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
