- Has anyone successfully compiled OCTAVE to run on Linux ?
- If so, could you let me know how you did it (i.e. what changes need
- to be made) ? Or could you be kind enough to upload the binary somewhere ?
- Octave is a freely redistributable Matlab clone written by
- John W. Eaton. I saw his announcement last week in comp.soft-sys.matlab.
- Here's an abstract of what John wrote (in another posting) :
-
- As for the availability of other Matlab-like software, I know of two
- systems that are currently being developed. RLaB, written by Ian
- Searle, is a language similar to Matlab, but incompatible in many
- ways. Octave, which I am working on, more closely resembles Matlab.
-
- Both are freely redistributable under the terms of the Free Software
- Foundation's General Public License, and both are currently in alpha
- test, which means that there are probably some bugs left to find, and
- some features left to add. :-)
-
- I posted an announcement for Octave last week, but if you missed it,
- it's available via anonymos ftp from ftp.che.utexas.edu in the file
- /pub/octave/Announce. You can also find the sources for the last
- couple of versions of Octave in the same directory.
-
- Archie shows that RLaB is available from mizar.docs.uu.se in the
- directory /pub/alpha/RLaB.
