Yes, I am trying to open an existing m-file that I previously made in Matlab. Typing edit, or clicking on the "Script" button causes no response. I also do not see any errors at the command prompt within the Octave GUI. I am using Ubuntu 12.04 with the XFCE window manager.
Interesting. This may be the first example of someone using XFCE and the GUI. Could you please try the following? In the source tree, look for the file ./libinterp/interpfcn/sighandlers.cc. Edit that file by commenting out the following line somewhere around Lines 472-474 (sighandlers.cc)
#ifdef SIGCHLD // octave_set_signal_handler (SIGCHLD, sigchld_handler); #endifand recompile. Let us know how that goes. Since Qt tries to use native resources, this will test whether XFCE is using child processes to some extent.

When I run octave, it correctly pulls up the gui and the command line works fine. However, the buttons for opening a script file, or calling "edit somthing.m" nothing happens. Did I miss a library during compile time? Should I grab a different branch to compile? Hi Patrick, You are trying to open an existing file? What happens afterward? Does the GUI appear to act as normal or is there strange behavior? What OS and what environment are you using, e.g., linux/ubuntu/KDE? Dan
