Dear List,
I did a clean install of OSX/Yosemite.
On this system I installed fink, and with fink I installed octave-3.8.2
When trying to complete the installation by adding some sourceforge packages I ran into this problem:
octave:1> pkg install -forge control
pkg: unable to find the mkoctfile command, Octave installation is incomplete
error: called from '__gripe_missing_component__' in file /sw/share/octave/3.8.2/m/help/__gripe_missing_component__.m near line 53, column 3
error: called from:
error: /sw/share/octave/3.8.2/m/pkg/private/install.m at line 199, column 5
error: /sw/share/octave/3.8.2/m/pkg/pkg.m at line 394, column 9
octave:1> help mkoctfile
'mkoctfile' is a function from the file /sw/share/octave/3.8.2/m/miscellaneous/mkoctfile.m
Thus when calling "pkg" octave cannot find mkoctfile.m
but invoking "help mkoctfile" seems to find it.
Also the path to mkoctfile ( /sw/share/octave/3.8.2/m/miscellaneous/ ) is set:
octave:2> path
Octave's search path contains the following directories:

Anybody has a suggestion whats going wrong here?
many thanks in advance, -Ruedi
I’m a bit behind on updating the Octave Forge packages in Fink, because the people who actually pay my bills are demanding a lot of my time, but you might just do “fink install control-oct382” to install the control package. The Fink setup does support manually installed Octave Forge packages, too, provided that you install the corresponding build-time package first via "fink install octave382-dev”. That’s what contains the headers and mkoctfile.
Dear Alexander,your suggestions worked. I could install the control and signal packages. thanks a lot.moving on I tried to do the equivalent of "Hello World!" in graphics:octave:2> x=(0:0.1:20)';octave:3> y=sin(x);octave:4> plot(x,y)May 21 17:13:15 Rudolfs-MacBook-Pro.local octave-cli-3.8.2[5263] <Error>: CGContextFillRects: invalid context 0x0. This is a serious error. This application, or a library it uses, is using an invalid context and is thereby contributing to an overall degradation of system stability and reliability. This notice is a courtesy: please fix this problem. It will become a fatal error in an upcoming update.This warning got repeated ~100 times and then the correct plot appeared! -Ruedi
I don’t happen to know if FLTK upstream has patched for this in a development branch, but it’s a problem with how they’re using Apple’s CoreGraphics, apparently.
