  • Ticket #30301 – Description

    initial v3  
    11Octave 3.2.4 is installed on my machine, mac os x 10.6.8 (snow leopard) using the MacPorts distribution. I'm interested in doing some symbolic calculations. A portfile doesn't exist for the symbolic pkg, so I loaded the pkg in octave with the following warnings:
    22
     3{{{
    34octave:1> pkg install ~/Downloads/symbolic-1.0.9.tar.gz
    45octave_help_OlwdEG:16: Misplaced {.
    … …  
    89octave_help_puO7Lr:17: Misplaced }.
    910warning: gen_doc_cache: unusable help text in 'sym2poly'. Ignoring function.
     11}}}
    1012
    1113To start I attempted to declare some symbols, at which point octave gave the following error message:
    1214
     15{{{
    1316octave:1> symbols
    1417octave:2> x = sym("x")
    … …  
    1922save to `octave-core' complete
    2023Abort trap
     24}}}
    2125
    2226I don't know if this is related to the warning message above. It could also be that the libraries included with version 3.2.3 (I'm assuming that this applies to 3.2.4 as well) are 32bit. The attached readme describes a patch that needs to be applied (I couldn't tell from the octave portfile, if this patch is applied)
