Subject: octave3.0: 3.0.0-6 has very weird behavior

Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2008 11:29:03 +0100

Package: octave3.0
Version: 1:3.0.0-6
Severity: important

Hi,

with latest upload (3.0.0-6), I get very weird behavior for multiple things in Octave:

-----------------
octave:1> jpgread('chess_00.jpg')
error: `jpgread' undefined near line -1 column 1
octave:2> path
Octave's search path contains the following directories:
(... stripped for bug report ...)
/home/didier/.octave/image-1.0.5/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-api-v32
/home/didier/.octave/image-1.0.5
(...)
----------------
$ ls -la /home/didier/.octave/image-1.0.5/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-api-v32/ | grep jpgread
-rwxr-xr-x 1 didier didier 31447 2008-02-27 12:26 jpgread.oct
----------------

So jpgread (from package image-1.0.5, from octave.sourceforge.net) exists, is in path, but 
Octave can't find it.

Let's try to uninstall and re-install image-1.0.5 :
---------------
octave:6> pkg install image-1.0.5.tar.gz
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lblas-3
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: error: Could not run mkoctfile
error: the configure script returned the following error: checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of executables...

checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed
checking for mkoctfile... mkoctfile
error: called from `pkg:configure_make' in file /usr/share/octave/3.0.0/m/pkg/pkg.m near 
line 1045, column 2
---------------
So this package is now uninstallable! (it was under 3.0.0-5).

$ locate blas-3
/etc/alternatives/libblas-3gf.a
/etc/alternatives/libblas-3gf.so
/usr/lib/libblas-3gf.a
/usr/lib/libblas-3gf.so
/var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/libblas-3gf.so

So something changed which renders Octave packages (from sourceforge at least) 
uninstallable and then unuseable !

Best regards,

Didier, who tries to be a responsive bug reporter.

Didier,

Thanks for your bug report.  You reported two issues.  I cannot
replicate the first one:

On the other hand, the second issue should be fixed in SVN now:

It was apparently a problem with the --with-atlas configure option in
debian/rules.

I think we will release 3.0.0-7 soon with a "closes: #468323" in
debian/changelog.  If the bug persists, please feel free to reopen this
report.

Hi, 

The "installation" bug is effectively solved for me with 3.0.0-7 but I still 
encounter the "path" bug (the first I mentioned in my original report) from 
time to time (can't find why nor reproduce it.

When I get it, I get this bug for any compiled function 
(package_prefix/package_name-1.0.0/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-api-v32/*.oct) from 
Octave Sourceforge packages.

Let's keep this bug closed. I will see if I get this bug again (maybe reboot, 
lib update, dunno...). If I get it on a regular base, I will report another 
bug (or re-open this one).

Regards, 

Didier
