Octave not working

[joachim]

After installing Octave in Slackware with gslapt all seemed fine. But when starting from terminal I get the error "error while loading shared libraries libfltk_gl.so.1.1 file not found"

Also when starting QtOctave I get the message "... your version is : not found"  even after setiing path to /usr/bin

what can I do ?

Thanks for help.

The fltk needs opengl to run. You vould try to compile it with GLshim from lunixbochs.


I think that slackware is not aware the there is no real opengl on the Pandora.

I didn't realize Octave wasn't on the repo yet. Sounds good for my next porting effort.

@ mcobit : as a newbie I don't know how to go it by myself. Is there anyone who could do it for me ?

I thought the progs in Slackware were tried and tested to work. Maybe LinuxSWAT has some tips.

Maybe a missing dependency.

There's two fltk packages in the extra repository.

Thanks for the tip. After installing fltk. hdf5, lapack and blas libs the program is running now from terminal

With QTOctave I get the same result - all running now.

Thanks for the quick help.

You can get every dependencies and sub-dependencies when browsing slackbuilds.org.

Thanks for the info. I thought the programs would load all the needed libs when installing via Gslapt.

There's no dependency resolution.

It's possible to do that but it's a lot of work.

ah, ok. Just thought because almost all is working so well that I am a big fan of SL4P so I use it nearly 100 %.
