Re: database connection fails

[Olaf Till]

Karen,

a fix is pushed to the code repository, but it probably will take some
time before a new release of 'database' will be made. You can access
and install the fixed version with the following shell commands, if
the 'mercurial' Debian package is installed:

The following will create a directory 'database':

  umask 022

  hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/octave/database database

Then change the current directory into the new directory
'database'. Then (../database-2.4.2 must not exist before this):

  hg archive -t files ../database-2.4.2

  cd ../database-2.4.2

  rm .hg*

  cd src

  ./bootstrap

  rm -r autom4te.cache/

  cd ../..

  tar -czf database-2.4.2.tar.gz database-2.4.2

Then, possibly as root, install the generated file
'database-2.4.2.tar.gz' from the Octave commandline with something
like:

  pkg install database-2.4.2.tar.gz
