Re: having trouble installing on new pc

[MadduxSports]

I am not sure what dont top post means but I did CC the list this time so hopefully that is what you were talking about and fixes the problem. 

 

I was able to get the old version installed as well as the version Nick said to download.  I copied the M file and the csv from my old PC but when I run the script I get this error in the DOS window.

 

C:\Users\sal>"c:\Octave\3.2.4_gcc-4.4.0\bin\octave-3.2.4.exe" -q "c:\masseynew4\
maddux.m" "c:\masseynew4\cfb"  1 0 0
reading and preparing data
error: `csv2cell' undefined near line 47 column 8
error: called from:
error:   c:\masseynew4\maddux.m at line 47, column 6

 

Line 47 in my M file is this

DATA = "">

 

So I dont know if I need one of those packages you might have said that causes problems to run this type of script.  When I did try it on the latest version Nick said to download I got the exact same error.  Ideas?

Thanks for the reply back Andy, I will get to what I was typing in below but I dont even know which download link to pick from this page to get it installed on my new pc.

 

http://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/files/Octave%20Windows%20binaries/

 

There are 14 different choices, then for example if I click on the first one there is the read me link and 3 different downloads to choose from.  Which one of those 3 links am I supposed to choose?

 

What I was doing with the program when it was installed was opening up a dos window and then typing this in.

 

"c:\Octave\3.2.4_gcc-4.4.0\bin\octave-3.2.4.exe" -q "c:\masseynew2\maddux.m" "c:\masseynew2\james2"  13 3 0 40

 

This would run a script that my programmer designed that did some least squares calculations.

 

Please help me get this running on the new pc and then I can tell you what errors I am coming across.

(please don't top post, please CC the list)

If you want the same version as before, so you have to make no changes then here

http://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/files/Octave%20Windows%20binaries/Octave%203.2.4%20for%20Windows%20MinGW32%20Installer/

and get

Octave-3.2.4_i686-pc-mingw32_gcc-4.4.0_setup.exe

Don't install the packages. At least one of them is known to cause issues. you will need to put those files, eg maddux.m back in the corresponding location on your new machine.
