Trying to install Octave, I first got an error regarding doxygen : command not found. So after installing it I tried again and got the following:

Code: Select all

sudo spi -i octave
Password: 
The following packages will be installed:
 octave 
Fetching README...Done
Fetching doinst.sh...Done
Fetching octave.SlackBuild...Done
Fetching octave.info...Done
Fetching patches/ax_blas.m4...Failed

Thanks for any help.

Try:

Code: Select all

sudo spi -u

first.

octave also requires cmake and gcc-gfortran

Thanks gapan, Octave 4.0 the latest version is now installed ok. There is a GUI by default, but the plotting window only generates garbage. However, I guess that's a problem for the Octave mailing list.
