Hi everybody,

I wanna invoke OCTAVE to do some operations from a Ptolemy star.
What I have done so far is modify the .octaverc file in the 
proper directory and, in the star code, include a line like:


system("octave"); 



If I write and compile a C program OUTSIDE Ptolemy including 
the line above, it works, but when I add this same command
to the star code (and I run it whithin Ptolemy) it doesn´t!!!. 
No messages of error of any kind 
are displayed by the shell, as if it hadn´t executed anything.
There´s more; if I invoke the C program I have built outside Ptolemy
from a Ptolemy star with a line like  'system("./testprogram")', where
'testprogram' is the executable file created by gcc, the same behavior
is observed. Conversely, if that executable file is invoked from 
the shell octave the invokation of octave is completed successfully.


(useful?) Info:

I´m using Ptolemy version 0.7.1p1.pigiRpc  under Debian GNU/Linux 2.0
The shell is sh.All I have described doesn´t work with octave 
but does whith shell commands like 'ls' or 'cd'.

Can anybody help me ??


THANK YOU SO MUCH.
