OpenSuse 11.4 doesn't register Octave packages

#1

Hi,

I’m trying to use some sourceforge packages with Octave, all installed using Yast. However, none of the packages that are installed works. E.g. for the Control package, commands like ss and tf don’t work. Also, “ver” shows that there are no packages installed. A simple work-around using “pkg install -forge control” has no positive result either. Anyone else having this problem ?

Thanks.

the way to check if a package is available is “pkg list” at the command
prompt.
Please post the output from “pkg list” in octave and the output from rpm
-qa ‘octave’

Hi Martin,

Thank you for responding. First, in octave:

octave:1> pkg list
no packages installed.

Then rpm:

> rpm -qa ‘octave’

octave-forge-control-2.2.0-6.18.noarch
octave-devel-3.4.2-1.1.i586
