I see that you already have the required gcc5 packages installed. If you have also run "fink install octave382-atlas-qtmac-dev” then you have all the dependencies covered.

Ben

Ben,

I did run your steps 5) and 6) - i.e. installed and removed octave382-atlas-qtmac-dev.

I take it I do not need to update gcc5-compiler and gcc5-shlibs to a newer version.

Sunil

Ben,

On step 9) I did have to remove the ^M from the file.

There isn’t a ^M in the file I attached. Did you open the file in an editor before using it? Perhaps an editor whose standard format isn’t plain text?

Ben

Must be my gmail download of attachment.

Here is the output of 9) - Is it ok?

Make check

Is that expected?

How do install packages - control, signal ?

Do I use fink install or octave command package install?

Thanks
